Im hard of hearing but not deaf lol (yes i still get listening practice)
For some reason my hearing aids arent compatible with this site on my phone. my computer, work computer, and pc are all fine.
For reference i use an iphone 13 and my hearing aids are bluetooth compatible. I can use them is some social medias but not all . i use wanikani on safari.
(pls no āask for a scriptā people this is just feedback and i hope it gets fixed, im getting cochlears next year so it wont matter for me, just for other deaf people in the same situation )
So Iām not entirely sure how hearing aids work, much less on an electronic, I assume theyāre something like earphones?
When using wanikani on mobile Iād say you should try using an app, so Iām on android so Iām not sure the apple equivalent, but I think itās Tsurukame, try using that, it may fix your problem. Usually desktop sites donāt work well on mobile.
Hard of Hearing person hereā¦
Yeah, I tried listening. Mine is compatible with the computer, but my ears cannot pick it up. For real, I could hear anime or Japanese drama with familiar sounds, but it is remembered muddily. Though, it doesnāt count for all DHH. Good luck on the study!
Well, it works with my hearing aids, but Iāve got an iPhone 8 plus. Pondering if this is a 13 issue rather than a WaniKani issue. (Though if it is a WaniKani issue, itās definitely something that needs to be fixed, and not a ātry this other appā type solution.)
Iām honestly not entirely sure. Hearing aids are paired via the Accessibility settings rather than via plain old Bluetooth settings, but in actual operation, I imagine theyād at least be fairly similar?
I have been hard of hearing all my life but never bothered me enough to get hearing aids. Recently I downloaded IKnow on my iPad for Core5000. I was blown away by the great quality of soundā¦ I could actually hear really well! Usually itās difficult for me to distinguish vowels, but whatever their secret, I Know has amazing sound quality.
Not suggesting as a permanent fix, but could you try downloading another browser on your iPhone just to see if itās limited to Safari on your phone or happens in all browsers?
Supposedly thereās also a way to āChoose whether call audio and media audio are routed to the hearing deviceā in the Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices > MFi Hearing Devices menu, and itās possible thatās a per-app setting (just taking this from the Apple Support page as I have neither an iPhone nor a hearing device to test with, unfortunately)
I thought I was managing just fine with hearing aids, and it wasnāt until I started watching TV with the subtitles on that I suddenly realised just how much effort I had been putting into just plain hearing the dialogue.
Also, you may not be bothered, but how about the people around you who have to say everything twice?
I had an exceptionally great talent at lip reading so I didnāt get my first pair of hearing aids untilā¦ this year haha. They noticed at 11 though when I thought the fire alarm at school was someoneās toy
I didnāt think I had any talent at lip reading until 2020 rolled around and suddenly I couldnāt see anyoneās lips any more. Turns out I rely a lot more on lip reading than I thought, even with the hearing aids.

Of course you are right!
My husband has become deafer than me so we actually have to have close conversations instead of yelling from the other side of the house. We live at the edge of a national forest, so as long as I can hear and listen to owls āWhoo whooingā and coyotes singing, I feel I can hear just right.
One on one I can hear okay. Now I do agree it would be great to actually pay attention to the dialogue of j dramas and not just read subtitles!
