OSCAR data interpretation

I’ve had the same issues with that mask, I’ve got a deviated septum and allergies. My nose plugs up and then I start mouth breathing. Then my mouth pops open. That’s where the large leak is coming from.

I bought a releaf soft neck brace that keeps my chin up and reduces my ability to mouth breathe, so maybe that could help you? (I’ve moved on to a full face mask because of the mouth breathing and still wear my brace) And I’ve heard of other people using a chin strap and also mouth tape to keep your mouth closed to reduce mouth leaks.

I’m also really struggling with masks right now. Waiting for a septoplasty for my nose issues. But yeah, I feel your pain!
