Volara

I had issues with both ears and discontinued all usage. Now I have a $20,000 boat anchor. I tried to return or donate it with no luck. I even had to argue with the manufacturer to stop sending me replacement masks/tubing.

I have volara too and do not have ear issues. My advice is to call customer service to change the setting to lower values. They will ask you to contact your doctor who prescribed it, for me it is dr Griffith from NJH, to change the prescription and volara tech will come to change the setting. I had it changed low:5,15 and medium to 8 and 20 and it helped with my issue - my ribs and muscles hurt. But honestly I don’t use it twice a week or when I am in a hurry. Try it could help

Did you find your throat to be sore after continued use of the Volara? I was wondering if it's better for me to get a vest. I went to the ENT and found ulcers on my vocal cords. Said it could be caused by the bronch or treatment after. I stopped talking for 2 weeks to get my voice back. I am thinking the Volara is too strong. I will use the low setting also.

The Volara doesn't bother my throat. But in your situation I don't know if it would. You might want to talk to Hill Rom to get their opinion

Do you use it for medication and hypertonic saline? I'm doing albuterol then hypertonic saline. I have 7%, 3%, and 0.9% to use based on how irritated my throat gets.

I use it for NaCl 3% or 7% and for cromolyn sodium.

I use it for 7% once a day. Haven't used it for medication yet
