Nasal aire problems

I've had the Nasal aire and it's really worked out ok. The noise doesn't bother me and the fit is great. The problem is the silicone tubing. Unfortunately I have oily skin and the soft silicone turns rock hard in about 2 months. That stuff is pretty expensive and I can't really afford to buy new tubing every 2 months. Any suggestions??? Also, my CPAP machine is about 6 years old and pretty basic. I see where everyone else seems to know what their settings are. I have no clue. I've never been told and wouldn't know where to find them.

I picked up a homemade cloth on ebay that covers my tubing. It was called cheek something. Saves some of the marks on my face and will be warmer in the winter. If your interest just search ebay for CPAP cheek pads.

Thanks, I'll drop in on ebay and give it a look.

You may be due for a new sleep study. I didn't know that they should repeat them every couple of years until I started to prepare for my surgery. I now have 2 in my closet collecting dust. I have started to use the most recent as my travel machine even though it isn't at the correct setting. Aime
