1) Which brand of FF mask is he trying? The tech when I had my recent titration told me that he didn't think the one that Johns Hopkins uses works. He showed it to me - It is a hard plastic mask and probrbly doesn't work. There is another kind that does and has a soft almost floaty part that fits against the face. It works well but still needs adjusting. Read past messages on this forum under Full Face Masks. You are SUPPOSED to sleep with your mouth open in a FF mask. That's what they are for.
2) Does he have a heated humidifier?
3) Read the last two or three forums - say back to #60. You will learn an incredible amount.
