I assume she got used to it, because she hasn't mentioned sleeping in separate rooms again. One family we camp with has one of those machines going all night for the dad. They usually camp a little farther away from us, so we don't hear it. I wonder if I'll have one of my own when we camp in November!
How long ago was that? My g/f's machine is very quiet, creating only a little white noise (like a small fan), and it's really very relaxing and calming.

But even if it was noisy, the toll apnea takes on your health would make it worth getting used to. Distrupted sleep stresses everything from your heart and kidneys to your eyes (she had to have her contact prescription adjusted b/c her vision improved with the breathing machine).

Good Luck with the test and be sure to update us with the results.
