What requires you to wear one. I have worn one for over 33 years. I can get them to last several years before replacing them. I live in Indiana where the heat coupled with the high humdity is a real challenge to breath. Hoping to move out west where climate is much drier.

@trach I had warts growing into my windpipe that were cutting off my breathing, and I also have laryngeal stenosis. I’ve had to wear one because of the airway issues. I can definitely understand how heat and humidity can make breathing even more challenging. I hope you’re able to move somewhere with a climate that makes breathing easier.
