Appendix A Accessibility 142
Assignable tones
You can assign distinctive ringtones to people in your contacts list for audible FaceTime caller ID.
You can also assign distinct tones to alert you of a variety of other events, including new mail,
sent mail, Tweet, Facebook Post, and reminders. See Sounds and silence on page 31.
You can purchase ringtones from the iTunes Store on iPod touch. See Chapter 22, iTunes Store, on
page 103.
Video Descriptions
Video descriptions provide an audible description of video scenes. If you have a video that
includes video descriptions, iPod touch can play them for you.
Turn on Video Descriptions. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Video Descriptions.
Hearing aids
If you have Made for iPhone hearing aids, you can use iPod touch to adjust their settings, stream
audio, or use iPod touch as a remote mic.
Pair with iPod touch. If your hearing aids aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility >
Hearing Aids, you need to pair them with iPod touch. To start, open the battery door on each
hearing aid. Next, on iPod touch, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then make sure Bluetooth is turned
on. Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. Close the battery doors on your
hearing aids and wait until their name appears in the list of devices (this could take a minute).
When the name appears, tap it and respond to the pairing request.
When pairing is nished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark appears next to
the hearing aids in the Devices list. Pairing can take as long as 60 seconds—don’t try to stream
audio or otherwise use the hearing aids until pairing is nished.
You should only need to pair once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that, each
time you turn your hearing aids back on, they reconnect to iPod touch.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, or choose Hearing Aids from the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on
page 128. Hearing aid settings appear only after you pair your hearing aids with iPod touch.
For shortcut access from the Lock screen, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids,
then turn on Control on Lock Screen. Use the settings to:
•
Check hearing aid battery status.
•
Adjust ambient microphone volume and equalization.
•
Choose which hearing aids (left, right, or both) receive streaming audio.
•
Control Live Listen.
Stream audio to your hearing aids. Stream audio from Siri, Music, Videos, and more by choosing
your hearing aids from the AirPlay menu .
Use iPod touch as a remote microphone. You can use Live Listen to stream sound from the
microphone in iPod touch to your hearing aids. This can help you hear better in some situations
by positioning iPod touch nearer the sound source. Triple-click the Home button, choose Hearing
Aids, then tap Start Live Listen.
