Bipap noise

Posted by ppenland on September 10, 2007 at 19:22:36:

I have just started using a bipap after 6 years on cpap. I was just telling my husband that I feel like I am on a ventilator because of the sound it makes when I exhale and inhale. This noise is bothing me so much to the point that I find it very hard to get to sleep. I have tired everything except ear plugs and I scared to use them in case something happens at night and I don't hear it. I use a fan at night which helped with the cpap but which I never had no trouble with. It is getting very tiresome since I get up so early and by the time I fall asleep then I have a only slept a few hrs. I need help with this but don't know where to turn, it took 2 month just to get my insurance to pay for it. Any suggestions.I am about ready to go back to cpap even though the studys says this is what I need at this time. Hopefully someone can help.
