Are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?

My favorite to hold you over until you find it.
Yes, but if your caregiver gets sick, either they have to find coverage while they are sick, or you do on short notice.
With a company, they can reassign someone to fill in with little disruption (theoretically). The reality is, they are struggling with hiring and keeping people for all of the reasons listed in this thread, so even if you hire a company, maybe you will get someone to cover for your regular, or maybe you won't.
If the images they show in the video are of the final revision of the device (unlikely), it should not be difficult to make a close copy of it right now.
EDIT: Mocked it up as best as I could with made-up numbers for diameter (~3.1") and taper angle (2.0deg) since I am to lazy to go out to my shed and get my electric leaf blower. At 0:55 in the video there is a close-up of the end of one of the mufflers, and it looks like it is made of multiple pieces, with some black material lining the outer shell. I am going to guess that might be something acoustically absorbent, but inexpensive and easy to get, like a sheet of neoprene with an adhesive back. That way, you can stick it inside of the outer shell and then insert the center with the helix. That is the kind of material I would expect in a senior design project when you are iterating through designs and need stuff cheap and quick.
So, I designed it that way for the one I did. https://imgur.com/a/Qr0vOhb
I'll probably get my leaf blower and update the model so it fits on my leaf blower, and if it works well, I'll post it to Printables and Thingiverse.
If you keep your eyes closed, you would only have to be a hundredaire to make it happen.

There are adjustable for just about every aspect of your interaction with it.
All (well, the two or 3 models we have at work) of the enMotion dispensers have that option. It's just a switch inside to leave one out or not.
I bought a set of keys for the most common ones, and when I run across paper towel dispensers that spit out the shortest length of paper with the longest delay, I pop them open and flip the switches to give the longest length of paper and shortest delay. And fix jams and misfeeds as well if I run across them.
