customize it if you’ve compatible hardware. But we’re more interested in other settings. Mono Audio

option to ‘merge’ stereo audio when only using a single earbud.

one or both ears can balance audio
sounds by going into the accessibilty
tab - audio/viusal -and then adjusting
settings to help iPhone audio output

options in this setting to dictate the speech speed used by Siri. This will assist students with
