Hearing Devices
This accessibility feature allows users to pair their hearing aid with his or
her iPhone. This feature improves audio quality with some hearing aids. Users
can pair their hearing aids to the iPhone just like they would pair a
bluetooth speaker. The difference is that users must go to the accessibility
icon in settings and then click on “hearing devices.” Then, the iPhone will
automatically start searching for the user’s hearing aid.
Voice over
This feature is for users who may struggle with seeing. They
will complete steps 1 and 2 and then click on “VoiceOver”
under the category: VISION. When “VoiceOver” is turned on it
will speak the name of the icon that your finger is on. It
is supposed to help users enjoy using their iPhone, even if
they cannot see the screen.

they will be able to press play and the iPhone will read the
contents of the screen to them.
