RE: hearing aids and iPhone

[Paula Jordan]

I have Starke hearing aids which I can pair to my phone.  I have two settings 
under audio routing.  The “call audio” setting is for phone calls. The “media” 
setting is for sounds on the phone.  I usually keep my call audio setting 
paired since I find it easier to hear phone calls through my aids.  I typically 
keep my media audio setting turned off unless I’m doing something like writing 
a text or playing a game when I’m out and about and don’t want to disturb 
others around me.  It is quite easy to pair and unpair the aids.  The setting 
is on my phone under accessibility.  The only small drawback with having the 
phone calls paired is that I can’t call my phone from another device if I’ve 
mislaid it since it rings through my aids so I can’t use the ringing to locate 
my phone.  I’ve solved this by telling Siri to tell me a story.  I can usually 
hear the speaker and find the phone that way. Good luck with your hearing aids. 
I put mine in as soon as I get up in the morning and take them out  the last 
thing at night.

God bless!

Subject: hearing aids and iPhone

 

Hi,

I am plunging into the world of hearing aids.  While it’s mostly because I have 
difficulty with quiet voices and loud environments, the guy who will set up my 
aids did tell me they can connect to my phone. I’m assuming most sighted people 
only connect theirs when listening to a book or music; that is what the guy 
made it sound like.  I’m trying to get my head around  what that is like for 
voice over users.  Do you leave hearing aids always connected to the phone?   
Sometimes I’m on my phone and want to show my sighted family something.  Would 
I have to turn off the hearing aid connection to let them hear the audio from 
the phone?  They guy told me I’d have 4 to 5 programs set for different 
contexts.  Any recommendations of things I should ask when I go in to have the 
programs set up for the aids?  

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Robin

A Question for those who have updated to iOS 17.1: Regarding Apple Music Song Lyrics and the new News Plus Crossword Puzzle Games

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

So, to those of you who have updated to 17.1:

1.
Does VoiceOver now automatically read the lyrics to a song as the song is
played?

2.
Has anyone played the new News Plus crossword puzzle and, if so, were you
able to make any sense of how the puzzle is solved?

This is the first time, in many years, that I want to update to the latest
iOS but am holding off do so because of the continuing issues that have been
reported.  At some point, I will just have to take the plunge but for now
...

Perhaps 17.2 will fix some VO bugs.

All replies greatly appreciated.

Mark

I've been waiting for 17.1 to come out to hopefully fix bugs I'd heard about 
and preferred not to experience. So imagine the look on my face when after 
upgrading from 16.7.2 to 17.1 I said "Siri, open mail," and was answered with 
"which one, phone or mail?". Rather surprised, I answered "mail," and was 
immediately told something went wrong, please try again later. Well, later 
hasn't come yet, because if I tell it to open mail, I get the same thing.

Also, I discovered that instead of playing a sound when I press and hold the 
side button on my 14 Pro Max, I get the double-buzz like you would get if 
VoiceOver weren't running. Haven't yet found a way to reverse this one.

But seriously, opening mail fails? Gimmy back my 16.7.2.

Hey Guys,

I'm having this problem, and I can't figure out which setting I need to
fix it.

I'm in this group with three other friends, and we text each other every
so often about whatever. Whenever I get a notification from any one of
them, my iPhone 12 unlocks and starts reading it. Even if I've just
locked the phone, if I get a notification even two seconds later, it
will unlock the phone and start reading it out loud. Even if it's just a
Like from one of them, it will unlock my phone and read it.

It didn't used to do that. It just started very recently. I don't know
whether it's something I've done, or whether the most recent update
changed something, but it's pretty annoying.

I've been through the Notification settings, and I can't seem to find
what I need in there. I don't want to turn them off completely, but I
only want them to show up when I unlock my phone.

What do I need to do?

Thanks much.

Evan

This is great info, Richard.  Thank you.

Question:  Can one delete a VoiceOver label the same way as you described,

I've always wanted to try this but feared that once I added a VO label, I 
wouldn't be able to delete it.

You can create a VoiceOver label for any photo in your library. The label will 
not stay with the photo if you send it to someone else, it is just on your 
phone. 
Having said that, the steps are the same if you want to rename an app on your 
screen. 
To label anything, photo, icon, whatever,  with VO,  make sure the one you want 
is in focus by touching it once with one finger. Then do a two finger double 
tap and hold until you hear some tones and an edit box opens. You can either 
write what you want, or paste something you have copied into that edit box and 
then flick/swipe to the save button and do a one finger double tap. 
As someone else said, if you want to copy the entire Be My AI description into 
the photo, when you have heard the description, touch the screen with one 
finger and swipe up or down to copy and double tap. Then close the description, 
and do the steps above for labeling the photo and paste the description into 
the edit box. 
If you don't know how to paste something you copied. Ask.

Re: hearing aids and iPhone

[Anna Dresner]

Hi Robin,

I like having my hearing aids paired with my phone. It means I can check 
notifications or text someone silently without putting on headphones, which can 
be convenient. I turn off Bluetooth when I want others to be able to hear my 
phone.

Cheers,
Anna

RE: hearing aids and iPhone

[Carolyn Arnold]

I have Oticon hearing aids with MFI (made for iPhone) capability. I do have to 
turn off Bluetooth, say for Jim to talk to my daughter-in-law, because if I 
don't, and I'm anywhere close to him, her conversation will come through my 
hearing aids. 

My sighted sister and husband both got hearing aids at the same time, always 
use Bluetooth, as does my other sighted sister. 

One time, the sister and husband were up in the morning, and her phone rang. 
She couldn't hear a thing, but he could. They'd gotten their hearing aids mixed 
up! He had on hers, and she had on his. We got a lot of laugh mileage out of 
that one. 

So, yes, both my sighted sisters keep theirs on Bluetooth to their hearing 
aids.

Hi,

I am plunging into the world of hearing aids.  While it’s mostly because I have 
difficulty with quiet voices and loud environments, the guy who will set up my 
aids did tell me they can connect to my phone. I’m assuming most sighted people 
only connect theirs when listening to a book or music; that is what the guy 
made it sound like.  I’m trying to get my head around  what that is like for 
voice over users.  Do you leave hearing aids always connected to the phone?   
Sometimes I’m on my phone and want to show my sighted family something.  Would 
I have to turn off the hearing aid connection to let them hear the audio from 
the phone?  They guy told me I’d have 4 to 5 programs set for different 
contexts.  Any recommendations of things I should ask when I go in to have the

Thanks in advance.

Re: hearing aids and iPhone

[Max]

Hi,
I have my aiids connected to my phone at all times when I am wearing them. You 
can turn off the aids if you wish somebody else to hear the phone I do this 
when talking with my kids on speaker phone so my wife can hear.

Re: iOS 17.2 Beta now has Journal

[Matthew Bullis]

The app sounds intriguing. I have not used such an app before, but I wonder if 
it has a feature where you can add past entries for years ago? That would be 
really helpful for entering significant things you don’t want to forget about. 
Then it would also be nice if it would integrate into the calendar or reminders 
or simply notifications, so that for instance you could get a notification that 
would remind you of an event or entry from this day a year ago, or this day any 
previous year. Perhaps that's too advanced for something like this, but that is 
the way I would want to use an app like this. The calendar wouldn't have been 
appropriate for this, but maybe this new one could? Do you notice anything like 
what I’ve described?
Thanks, Matthew

RE: changing alarm sound

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Paula, is your alarm set to it goes off every day at the same time or maybe 
Monday to Friday at the same time? If you have 1 single alarm which goes off 
every day one would assume that whatever alarm sound you have whether an alarm 
tone or a song should remain once  you set it. If you have a separate alarm for 
each day then of course you would have to edit each alarm and select the song 
for each of them separately.
If it continues to be inconsistent maybe call Apple Accessibility and see if 
they can help.

Hi all. Here's The next episode in my alarm SOUND SAGA.  I SET MY song as an 
alarm and the next time the alarm went off, the song played just as I'd hoped.  
However, my alarm today went back to the default.  Weird!  Any thoughts?  I saw 
the repeat every day option, but I thought that meant the alarm I'd already 
set.  Maybe it meant the song?

I think Richard already explained it, you absolutely can select a song from 
your music library, but as Richard said, the key is that the song has to be 
downloaded to your iPhone, if it's in the cloud it won't work.

Looking for a Setting in Notifications

[Evan Reese]

Hey Guys,

I'm having this problem, and I can't figure out which setting I need to 
fix it.


I'm in this group with three other friends, and we text each other every 
so often about whatever. Whenever I get a notification from any one of 
them, my iPhone 12 unlocks and starts reading it. Even if I've just 
locked the phone, if I get a notification even two seconds later, it 
will unlock the phone and start reading it out loud. Even if it's just a 
Like from one of them, it will unlock my phone and read it.


It didn't used to do that. It just started very recently. I don't know 
whether it's something I've done, or whether the most recent update 
changed something, but it's pretty annoying.


I've been through the Notification settings, and I can't seem to find 
what I need in there. I don't want to turn them off completely, but I 
only want them to show up when I unlock my phone.


What do I need to do?

Thanks much.

Evan

RE: Annoying Emergency Update.

[Carolyn Arnold]

You could be right. I want no part of Apple cart or Apple Pay. I had to call 
Accessibility one time to do something about Apple Pay just to get it out of my 
hair. 

I think it is great that they have it, and probably most people want it, but 
they tend to be autocratic about pushing it whether we want it or not.

Carolyn, is the one new item in settings anything to do with Apple Card? Go 
into first item in settings and go down to the card item and double tap and 
follow through as if you want the Apple Card. At some point going through the 
pages there will be a place to refuse. It should be much easier to say no, but 
it’s not. That drives me crazy with a new device. Hope this helps you.

I have gone to update emergency information. I have double

Yet, it still annoys me with that One New Item. 

Am I going to have to call Apple Accessibility? I just don't
