Tests show -10 to -15 dB sound dampening for low frequencies.

Sound dampening works the best at high frequencies, with soundproofing levels of -20 to -30 dB for high frequencies, which are the ones that disturb the most. 

Having the nose free has multiple advantages for better comfort:

- Easier breathing
- Reduced heat and humidity inside the mask.
- Compatible with glasses or VR headsets
- Less pressure on the nose

For those who have the most nasal voice, you might sound a bit nasal while wearing the mask, kind of like when you pinch your nose a little bit specially pronouncing words with “N” and “M”. This is normal and may happen because your nose is outside the mask. A little suggestion would be relaxing your voice while speaking. You'll find you can control how nasal it sounds.

While it gets warmer, the temperature is still comfortable. The fresh air coming inside helps refreshing and in the case of the VEKTA, the cooling pad can be used.

It is recommended to take a break and put the mask off every 15 to 20 minutes, although users report being comfortable for up to one-two hours without removing it.

Perceived warmth also depends on room temperature and personal sensitivity.

To judge the ideal size of your mask, measure from above your upper lip (below the nose) to the back of the head at the neck area, circling around.

For the VEKTA Soundproof Mask:

• If it is 53cm or less: S/M is be the suitable choice. 
• If it is 54cm or more: L/XL is be the recommended size.

For the OMBRA Soundproof Mask:

• If it is 53cm or less: S/M is the suitable choice.
• If it is 54cm or more: M/L is the recommended size.

If you are unsure and around the limit, we recommend the smaller size (S/M) as the safest choice! This advice is for both masks. The mask being a bit smaller is always fine, while a bit too large makes harder to have a tight sealing.
