This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless<br />
technologies it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this<br />
phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different<br />
features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear<br />
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or Apple<br />
for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange<br />
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.<br />
Mono audio and balance<br />
Mono Audio combines the sound from the left and right channels into a mono signal played on<br />
both channels. This way you can hear everything with either ear, or through both ears with one<br />
channel set louder.<br />
Turn Mono Audio on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Mono Audio.<br />
Adjust the balance. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then drag the Left Right Stereo<br />
Balance slider.<br />
Subtitles and closed captions<br />
The Videos app includes an Alternate Track button you can tap to choose subtitles and<br />
captions offered by the video you’re watching. Standard subtitles and captions are usually listed,<br />
but if you prefer special accessible captions, such as subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing<br />
(SDH), you can set iPhone to list them instead, if they’re available.<br />
Prefer accessible subtitles and closed captions for the hard of hearing in the list of available<br />
subtitles and captions. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning, then<br />
turn on Closed Captions + SDH. This also turns on subtitles and captions in the Videos app.<br />
Choose from available subtitles and captions. Tap while watching a video in Videos.<br />
Customize your subtitles and captions. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles &<br />
Captioning > Style, where you can choose an existing caption style or create a new style based<br />
on your choice of:<br />
••<br />
Font, size, and color<br />
••<br />
Background color and opacity<br />
••<br />
Text opacity, edge style, and highlight<br />
Not all videos include closed captions.<br />
Siri<br />
With Siri, you can do things like opening apps just by asking, and VoiceOver can read Siri<br />
responses to you. See Chapter 4, Siri, on page 48.<br />
Widescreen keyboards<br />
Many apps, including Mail, Safari, Messages, Notes, and Contacts, let you rotate iPhone when<br />
you’re typing, so you can use a larger keyboard.<br />
