For people with hearing impairments and various hearing impairments, almost any Android smartphone has special settings.
Let's consider them further in the article using the example of a Samsung phone. If you have a phone of a different brand, the settings may be slightly different, but not critical.
So, let's move on to specials. on my phone: Settings> Accessibility> Hearing.
- Flash notification. When a notification comes to the phone or an alarm rings. you will see the camera flash fired.
- Mute all sounds. Mutes all sounds on the phone, including calls and sms, alarms, even if sound is enabled in sound mode. Why does a hearing-impaired or deaf person need sounds on the phone? Better to use visual cues or vibration. In addition, the included sound can interfere with others, and the person simply does not hear it.
- Samsung subtitles. Includes subtitles – captions for all options and app icons in the phone. The font and background can be adjusted separately.
- Google subtitles. You can also enable Google signatures, but there are fewer settings here. Language, font size and subtitle style can be selected.
- Sound balance right / left. Adjusts the sound balance between the right and left ear in the headphones. My option is not active, because headphones are not connected to the phone.
- Mono sound. Switches the sound from stereo to mono when you are using only one earbud (for example, a headset, or the other ear is broken).
