Candoo How to iPhone Hearing Impairment & Accessibility
The iPhone makes it easy to stay in the conversation if you’re deaf or hard of hearing. Several accessibility settings will make your life easier. Made for iPhone (MFI) hearing aids make it easy to personalize sound settings to your location. Live Listen also helps you have better conversations in loud places.
On the next pages, we will cover a few that we want to highlight.
Hearing Aids Made for iPhone (MFI)
Apple has worked with top manufacturers to create hearing aids and sound processors designed specifically for iPhone and iPad. These advanced hearing devices provide outstanding sound quality, offer many helpful features, and are as easy to set up and use as any other Bluetooth device.
Here is how you can quickly access the features and settings of your paired hearing device:
○ Triple-click the Home button (or the side button on iPhone X or later). Glance at the battery status or change the left and right volume, together or separately.
- This will quickly apply your audiologist’s environmental presets as you go outdoors or enter noisy environments, like restaurants, without relying on additional remotes.
- Click or tap Here to explore all hearing aid models made for the iPhone.
Noise App (Apple Watch) Track your Hearing Health.
The Noise app tracks the decibel levels of the ambient sounds around you, helping you identify when they could negatively impact your hearing. The information is stored in the Health app so you can refer to your data whenever you need it.
Visible and Vibrating Alerts: See your Alerts - Or Feel Them
The iPhone delivers both visual and vibrating alerts for incoming phone and FaceTime calls, new text messages, new and sent mail, and calendar events. You can set an LED light flash for incoming calls and alerts. You can also have incoming calls display a photo of the caller.
