When I was in the hospital a respiratory clinician told me the nasal cannula "probes--the tubes that go into your nose" do not have to be physically 'in' your nose but can be several inches away. At night, I pull the cannula probes away from my not down to my upper lip and use my head's weight to keep them there. No problem and no discomfort. The oxygen still is inhaled properly. Check with your doc to see if this is OK with you.

I have the same problem, I find that when mine gets noisy, I need to change it, also the "soft" cannula are much quieter than the "hard" ones.
