A system of the invention is a housing-liner apparatus and/or eye shield comprising an air leak preventing system is provided for use with continuous positive airway pressure devices, e.g. CPAP mask. The system includes a housing-liner and/or an eye shield reversibly or irreversibly attached to a mask, and adjustable straps extending from the housing-liner and/or eye shield to attach onto a mask to create an improved seal between the mask and the user. Beneficially, the system muffles noise associated with air leakage, and reduces other side effects with CPAP masks, e.g. slippage of the lower part of the mask into the user's mouth and/or puffing out of cheeks during sleep. Furthermore, the system may include a chin support to reduce mouth opening of the user during sleep. Overall, the system creates greater user comfort by maintaining the interface between the mask and user's face during sleep. |
