Adams CPAP exhaust stream bothers my wife (long)

Posted by BigSleeper on February 01, 2002 at 13:48:12:

I have been on an Adams Circuit CPAP for over a year now and have had very few problems. Prior to starting on the CPAP, my wife and I would go to sleep in the same bed and then she would often go sleep on the couch after I started snoring. One of the great benefits of the CPAP is being able to wake up in bed, knowing that she will still be in bed with me.

The main problem I have now is that she can't sleep if I am facing her, because the stream of air coming from the shell's exhaust bothers her. Does anyone know of a (safe) way to minimize or redirect this?
