My spouse has a CPAP machine that seems to be getting noiser over the past months.
The machine itself is waking me up (but not him) and I can hear the air coming out louder than before. Sometimes I hear the air because he moves around alot.
I clean the filter regularly so I don't think this is causing the problem.
Anybody have same experience & what have you tried to make the machine less noisy?
I feel like I have not gotten a good nights sleep in over 6 months & I'm really starting to feel the lack of sleep. I'm getting edgy & cranky :)

The REMstar LX System does not require routine servicing; however, if the following occurs servicing may be required:
• If symptoms of sleep apnea recur, contact your physician.
• If you think the REMstar LX is not performing properly or is not
delivering the correct air pressure, contact your home care provider.
• If the noise level of the REMstar LX has changed to include
unusual or harsh sounds during operation, contact your home care
provider or Respironics for instructions on having the REMstar LX
serviced.
What you are describing may be a failure of the blower. How long has he had the machine?

Thanks
I think he's had this machine for almost a year but I can't be sure.
I did find that the hose had a small opening near the place where it plugs into the machine so we have a spare that we are going to replace it with to see if this helps.

time to sleep in another room? My husband snores and I have had to simply start sleeping in another room. He doesn't like it but my sleep is worth it.
