During the day I wear the nose mask. It makes me feel safe and allows me at least partial oral communication.
Besides the additional possibility to eat and drink, the nasal mask has another, very decisive advantage over the nose-mouth mask. By opening the mouth and palate, I can build up overpressure in the throat, through which I can transport a large part of the secretion upwards. This makes it relatively easy to suck it out without having to go too deep into the throat.
