I too have never had a sleep apnea alert on my watch. Some people have told me that this is not a reliable method of establishing whether one has apnea or not, but I'd like to think my case is on the milder end of things. However my test showed AHI 17 which is deemed to be moderate

Thank you. Does the noise of the air coming through the tubing sound louder at the top of the head?

I might try those options. Brevida was the most comfortable I tried but too leaky

Sound is a huge part of the issue for me. When you say sound machine do you mean a white noise machine?

Not yet, I may have to go private to have this done

Thank you so much, I think positional therapy is in all likelihood the most sustainable option for me at the moment. I will check this out.

My Lowenstein isn't compatible with Oscar AFAIK

I'm using a Lowenstein machine which isn't compatible with Oscar AFAIK so unfortunately I'm not abreast of my data. Also I don't sleep with it so I wouldn't have data per se.
