Hi @georgethompson, I'm tagging fellow members like @genevievee @mindyt @thomason who also live with a tracheotomy. You might find this related discussion interesting:

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time connecting with an ENT specialist. Have you had one in the past and now need to find a new ENT? Can you ask your PCP for a referral?

Have not had an ENT specialist in the past. My PCP was no help.
