Participants
Participants will be required to attend a single consultation and screening appointment to discuss the investigation procedure, and this will occur at least a week before the Continuous Laryngoscopy during Exercise (CLE) test. Participants will then attend one appointment for the CLE test. There will be no follow up assessments using the headgear. Continuous laryngoscopy during exercise test using the HALOS headgear: The participant will undergo the CLE test following standard clinical practice. The order of events of the aspects of the investigation related to the headgear will be: 1. The headgear is prepared for use. 2. The headgear is fitted onto the participant's head. 3. The endoscope is inserted into the participant. 4. The endoscope is fitted onto the headgear. 5. The CLE test is carried out. 6. The endoscope is removed from the headgear. 7. The endoscope is removed from the participant. 8. The headgear is removed from the participant. 9. The headgear is cleaned and stored.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 60 minutes

The percentage of participants where the clinician provided a device usability rating of 4 or 5 on the post-test questionnaire. Device usability is scored on a five-point LIKERT scale ranging from 1 (very hard to use) to 5 (very easy to use).
