Unless your phone isn't responding at all, I'd avoid the forced shutdown by holding down the home and lock button and just do a normal shutdown by holding down the lock button until the dialog pops up asking if you want to shutdown the phone. Maybe these two types of shutdown are different, but if they're not, a graceful shutdown, when it's available, will be safer.

You've very likely already exhausted these options, but make sure you are 
updated to the latest version of iOS. Also, have you tried doing a hard 
shutdown of the phone? I'm using a 4S, so this might differ on a newer model, 
but holding down the home button and the lock button on top of the phone for 
several seconds will turn off the phone. Start up the phone in the usual 
manner, and hopefully your problem will be alleviated.

For the past few weeks, whenever I link to an article on Facebook, Twitter, 
Search It, etc., VoiceOver starts reading, then goes completely silent and 
freezes. I am then forced to exit out and go back in to double-click on the 
desired link, which then acts the same way, or wait a moment or two for the 
information to load, which it does every so often.
Also, whereas I used to be able, with no problem, to play podcasts or YouTube 
links from within Facebook, Twitter, etc., now I am shown that the track 
position is changing, that the time is elapsing, but there is no sound.
I have tried running the battery down and recharging, shutting down the iPhone 
and restarting, closing all apps, then reopening desired ones to reach what I 
wish to read or listen to, but nothing is working.
Often, I am simply dumped to the home screen after VO freezes me out.
