Samsung How to Set up Hearing Accessibility Features

When using headphones, the Sound balance can be adjusted between left and right, which works on the Samsung device for all sounds except calls.

Note: The Sound balance can only be changed when headphones/headset are connected.

Hearing impaired people have the possibility to record speech via the microphone on the Samsung device and play it back as text.

After the automatic transcription from voice to text, the keyboard can also be used to give an answer.

On the Samsung device, there are some settings available to personalize the transcription, such as changing the text size, microphone or language.

Once the transcription has been activated on the Samsung device, a help icon is located on the right side of the navigation bar to start or stop the function.

With headphones, the sound is usually reproduced in stereo. This means that the sound is reproduced on two different audio channels, with each audio track being heard on one auricle at a time, giving a complete picture only in our ears.

For example, if we share headphones or are deaf in one ear, the Samsung device can switch from stereo to mono audio, and mono audio means that only one audio channel is played, so the output is the same in each ear.

On the Samsung device, subtitles can also be displayed during video playback, although we can use Samsung subtitles or Google subtitles, although there is little difference in their function.

In addition to the pure display of subtitles, the design can also be personalized, for example by changing the font, background, font size, color, border and opacity.
