Each aperture (24) is providedwith a respective different opening in an outer surface of the housing.The opening of each aperture (24) extends in two differentplanes such that, if at least a part of the opening is covered in oneof the two different planes during inhalation by the patient, a voidspace is created between the cover and the aperture (24) so as toprovide an air flow path through the void space to the at least oneaperture (24 ).
