I've been treated for it for over 10 years and can't tolerate the mask anymore. I hate it. I've found some relief with a large sleep wedge, you might try that as low cost temporary alternative. In addition, weight loss if that's also a factor (definitely was for me). I'll try to use mask once a week but I usually tear it off in my sleep.

I have tried all sorts of stuff during sleep, from NCA headphones, to sleeping masks, everything, and I end up removing it all.

The point of the wedge is to discourage your airway from being blocked. Fwiw, it was recommended to me by my sleep doctor until I was able to complete the process of sleep test and receive/fitted for machine and mask. If you don't have insurance which would cover all of that you should consider it.
