Hi, Mary. I use a bluetooth streamer to hearing aids as well as a braille display. The fact that my hearing fluctuates often makes it easier to use braille and leave my ears open for environmental sounds. In iOS 6, the voiceover sounds would come through the streamer, activating it and switching me on to the Bluetooth program when I didn't want to be. in iOS 7, the voiceover sounds can easily be disabled, and it all works well. I hate some parts of the new update, the UK voice sounds like it has just come out of a very nasty meeting with its boss and you can't seem to see the lock screen notifications with a bluetooth keyboard, but the loss of the VO sounds makes up for it. Needless to say, this is entirely specific to me. Other people will have other views and ought to be able to download and update if and when they feel like it. Aman
