10 Common Problems with CPAP Machines

Problem 10: The device makes too much noise

Although newer models are quieter in comparison, the nature of CPAP machines guarantees some sound being produced.

Solutions:

Check if there is nothing in the air filter

Blockage in the air filter of the equipment can result in more noise. Clean your device regularly and properly.  

Distance the machine from the bed

Moving the machine farther away might lessen the noise. Doing this might require extra tubing for your device.

Wear earplugs or have a white noise sound machine

Veiling the noise from the CPAP machine can be done with the use of earplugs or a white noise sound machine.
