what is the purpose of the little plug that opens and closes? i don't see any explanation for it on the respirtronics webpage for the mask.

I have never figured out what that is really for. I always assumed it was like a relief valve in case the pressure got too high. Good question.

I think the plug on the mask allows air to flow into the mask from near the face piece (instead of all the way through the cpap) while maintaining the same pressure level in the mask.

I am not sure, but I use it for dusting and cleaning the litter box. This not recommended, but I reverse the mask, so that the blue side is outside. That seems to filter out a lot of things that would cause me to sneeze or have sinus problems. I hope this helps!

I have a goatee and I use this respirator...it seems to work fine (I always block the vents and try to breathe in before using), though I can occasionally smell faint odors while wearing it, whether it's paint, solvents, or residual cooking smells. So you can take that for whatever it's worth.

I believe it is to keep you from pushing the plug in too far. It is removable if you dont want to use it.

It is a mute/cough button. It also hangs up on phone calls (don't know if that is intentional or not). It may answer calls too. I have not checked.

The one with the slot is to hold the cloth patches used to clear or lubricate. Do not know what the small solid plug is for.

when you breathe out the air goes out kind of the area above where the hose hooks onto the mask

That's the plug so to speak. That protects ur headpiece plug in. It nice actually protects it from being dirty and dry if it is submerged.

This plug only covers the headphone jack to protect from dust and such. It can also be used for keychains or charms. I think if you want to cut off sound from speakers, you would have to open up your device.

They can come off and you can change the little images with something else within the respirator. I didn't notice until it popped off one day.

The mask itself does not. It feels like thin foam material inside. Ear plugs block sound. The mask itself will block sound the same as pulling a thin blanket over your head. So not really at all.

Shouldn't matter. There is basically a box that the entire mask goes in, with the hose still attached (it goes through a hole), you close the lid to seal the system. Then ionized air circulates though the mask, hose and humidifier. If your mask fits in the box, your nasal pillows is likely smaller and should too.

I was never able to get my CPAP hooked up correctly. I have not been able to match plugs sizes for the CPAP machine so I don't know where the problem lies. I should point out that I tried hooking this up on the plane for the first time, so that might have something to do with it.The CPAP had a standard 2 prong plug. The single cylinder prong was the issue plugging into the CPAP battery.

It is an electrical plug in. I would not be without one. This is my 2nd Lids Off. I absolutely did wear my first one out as I had three cases of my canned preserves that had expired. It is great!

Its an angled or in-line oxygen enrichment hose adapter-http://www.cpap.com/productpage/oxygen-enrichment-adapter.html.

It will not seal properly. It's itchy with just a bit of face fur. I've seen guys sanding with these on and take it off awhile later looking like they stuck their nose in the dust. They all had beards or something obstructing the seal allowing air in. I wore this or the half mask for 10 months where I used to work.

It is one of those self closing packages. I used some and have stored the rest in the package for future use.
