And now some accessibility news. The TruLink app, by Starkey Laboratories, will allow users of its Made for iPhone hearing aids to control many device functions with the Apple Watch. Made for iPhone certified hearing aids can be purchased from health care providers. Additionally, hearing aid manufacturers, ReSound and BeltOne, have released updates to their apps to allow for Apple Watch control. To find these three apps, simply search for “Hearing Aids” in the App Store section of the Apple Watch app.
