EZ Talk Connector

Didn't work as well as I had hoped.

So far I like this because I tend to get a dry cough in the middle of the night and without it I would be blowing my ears up constantly. I'm curious, I think if your power goes out the flap might auto close so you can breathe freely which would be a huge Comfort to a lot of us users to know. If in fact it works that way.

haven't used it yet

This looked like a nice thing to have, but it's more of an inconvenience to use. It extends the length of the piece coming out of the mask making it more obtrusive when sleeping. I used it for a couple days then it ended up in the drawer. Not worth it, to me.

This pretty much works as advertised except that I have to hold it on the no-talk position to get my CPAP's auto-on feature to work because it has a tendency to default to the talk position. It should be spring-loaded to stay in the no-talk position until you flip the lever.

Good accessory. It works as advertised.

Got it b/c I thought it might come in handy. Reality is it's a bit long and as such extends the connection length to the tube and can cause stress on the connectors if you roll over. Also, now my mask does not fit intact in my CPAP cleaner so this tube has to be removed and reinstalled daily. Not a big winner for me so I can say I have one, but probably not that useful.

I've had this for about 4 months, I use it about 2-4 times a week so that isn't that much, right? A couple of nights ago, my nose itched, so I reached up to push the lever and the plastic door fell into the hole, air was loudly blowing into the room. I shut off the CPAP machine, took off the EZ Talk, connected the hose to my mask and went back to sleep. The next day, I examined it closely, I thought it was broke, but it wasn't. There is a thin metal pin that is held in place by soft material (the same type of material that my mask is made of- possibly vinyl). The pin slid to one side and it was what held the door in place, once it slid to the side, the plastic door fell off. What scares me to death, is if this pin had dislodged, I am not sure that it couldn't or wouldn't have traveled right into my nose. There was nothing to stop it that I could see, it was small enough, and then what, right down into my lung? Well I put it back together, and used my laser glue, to glue the ends of the pin so it won't move again. The plastic door still works perfectly, and if it wasn't for this movable pin, I would have given it 5 stars. Because rather than turn off the CPAP, I like how this product works to scratch my nose or talk to my husband. I then washed it in warm water and white vinegar, rinsed, then washed it with Dawn detergent and warm water, rinsed in cold water and dried thoroughly before attaching it back between my hose and mask. The pin, hopefully, will never slide again, but I will be checking it weekly to be sure it is still secure. And I have a backup EZ Talk, I'm going to attach a note to the unopened package to laser glue it before the first use. I know you'd think I'd never forget a scare like this, but who knows it might be years before I open that package & my memory isn't improving with age.

I don't know why but my husband is able to talk and be understandable while wearing his CPAP.... I am not! If I use this gadget I'm able to talk, drink, cough, etc without ear-popping and he can understand me. I keep 2 of these on hand.

The good: Size and weight is great, and the machine works well. The bad: This machine makes a LOT of noise. I could barely get to sleep and my partner also found it very annoying.

The flap did not stay in either direction. I didn't see any benefit tot his at all. More of a hassle than it was worth. I would return it, but I opened it to use it so I can't. Bad purchase.

Great product. It adds a little bulk to the line but allows you to have a conversation with someone if needed.
