In iOS 13 you can enter numbers during a call on a Bluetooth keyboard although for some reason it seems to work only with the number row on top of the keyboard and not with the numeric pad if you use a keyboard which has one. But I guess it is better than nothing. If you want to dial a number

Audio Ducking lowers the volume of a program when VoiceOver is speaking. If you are listening to music, and touch the screen, the music will dim a little to try to make it easier to hear what VoiceOver is saying. So, in the case of trying to hear the numbers on a keypad when accessing a phone
