[NFB-DB] cochlear implant alpp accessibility?

[Scott Davert]

Hi Chris.
They all have their issues, but some are worse than others. I do not
have first hand knowledge of what the issues with the apps are, but
you can control quite a number of things through Apple's built-in
functions. If you have the n7, you should be able to control some of
the functions from your iPhone... Android still needs some work. I've
provided a couple of resources in case you want/could benefit from
them for use with an iPhone. While the subject concerns MFi hearing
aids, it's my understanding that the CI experience is very similar.
MFi support for VoiceOver users:

I also recorded a podcast demoing some of the features for AppleVis:

I hope some of this helps,
Scott
