I'm new to wearing the machine and I"m trying to get used to it. My RT told me to wear it in the bed while I read or watch tv, before I fall asleep, so I could get used to it.
Are you sure it's the hose that is making the noise and it's not coming from the hole vents on the mask itself? I have the Amera View and I do not have a problem with the hose making a noise.
The same thing happened to me. I switched to a full face mask and I like it much better. Apparently I'm a mouth breather with allergies and I couldn't stand air being blown up my nose all night long. I became congested and woke up with headaches. I haven't had that happen since I switched to a full face mask. I've only been using my Apap machine for about a week though.
