Thank you for your kindness and support.

Telemarketers-maybe the most thankless job in the world. (Somewhat deservedly so)

Thank you so much for the video!
Sorry if the question has been answered in earlier videos already, but I wonder how you work around the inspiratory phase? It doesn't seem to interrupt your speech at all!

[@LifewithaVent]

That is a great question. I adjust the settings on my ventilator. I increase the inspiration pressure and decrease the time the ventilator gives me a breath in. This way, the ventilator gives me a breath quickly which allows me to speak more fluidly without being interrupted by the ventilator giving me a breath in.

Do you mostly have the cuff inflated then, and deflate it when you need to speak?

[@LifewithaVent]

Yes. I keep my cuff inflated for most of the day. When I need to speak, I deflate it.
