It isn't that it is hard to believe it can happen. It is so many people, though, that it is hard for me to comprehend.
And yes, the mask can make noise, but typically not as much as the person makes snoring for your partner. Modern ones, in particular, are fairly quiet and can be tucked under the night stand such that they make about as much noise as basic forced air venting systems do. Which is not much.
The mask can be uncomfortable some nights. They do have a variety of masks to try, though. And if it isn't working, they have other options.
That last point is actually refreshing for me in this story. So many bounce off a CPAP into nothing. Hopefully efforts like this story will help people find something that can work.
