Sure, it is a button that is above the volume up button instead of the lever.
It defaults to toggling between ring mode and silent mode.
But in settings, you can change it to something else. Just do a web search on
what does the action button do on newer iPhones.

Yes, the ringing would come through on your hearing aids, even with silent mode
on.
I just tested it with my bluetooth headset on and the phone in silent mode.

And now you know why when you pressed the action button, it said Silent
mode.
Because, in fact, you had it on in there.
Below that setting there is a line explaining what it does when silent mode is
on.

I did think that with screen share, they could see what we do.
Anyway, I am overjoyed to have Announce Callers fixed. I mean, with this phone,
it is like someone through my settings up in the air and just slung them back
together any old way.

I went into Sounds and Haptics, and although I did not have

I'm getting calls announced, so I can show my son tonight,
so he can fix his too.

I know it works, because my mom is still able to have it available on her 13.
So I know this is a longshot, but you might want to reset the phone, and and
reinstall everything to see if that changes it. And I know you probably said
it, but I just have to give everybody the benefit of a doubt.

I have never had a problem of announce incoming calls working with VoiceOver on.
IN fact, I just had a call a couple of minutes ago and it told me who was
calling.
There may be a setting in notifications that needs to be on, and also, for Siri.
I can double check if it still isn't working what set

If you get options then the triple press shortcut was not set up correctly.
Make sure you go to Accessibility > Voiceover and at the very bottom make sure
that only Voiceover is selected for the triple click of the side button.

I just asked my Echo device to play channel 7 on SiriusXM and it started

I'm curious whether others are having a problem getting Sirius XM to play on
