I can't hear numbers or anything on Voiceover when on a call
with Bluetooth to my hearing aids. Once I shut my phone
down, brought it back up, and it seemed better. 

 

So, that is exactly what I did, only when bringing it up, no
Voiceover. Jim tried to help me, but we were in a mess. I
called Apple Accessibility and got a magically helpful lady
named Angela. With her thinking out of the box, we finally
got it back; I had to tell Jim what to punch in for my
passcode. Then, VOILA, along came Voiceover. It happened
that I had Screen Curtain on, so I turned it off, and Jim
could see that it looked all right. So I had to punch my
24-character Apple ID, finally got it back. 

 

She got us to press Power Button and Volume Down to try to
get it back on. That did work. Actually, then, we waited
quite a long time, before bringing the phone back up. I
think she realized that probably my phone was on, but that I
did not know it, so turn off, then give good wait, and bring
it up again. I don't know what would have happened if Jim
hadn't been here and willing to fool with it. 

 

I told her that the Voiceover sound not being easily heard
had been a problem for some time, which was the reason that
I turned my phone off. It is working now, even Evan came
back. I've heard some say that their phone defaulted to
Samantha. 

 

Incidentally, while in this pickle, I called the phone from
our landline. It rang, but, I could not answer it. 

 

I have just tried with earbuds with Bluetooth off, and stil
have to struggle to hear anything on the screen while on a
call. 

 

Such are some of the vagaries of iOS 16.
