Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for adjusting a volume level of a phone for a detected hearing aid. The phone has a camera and a speaker. The field of vision of the camera and field of sound transmission of the speaker overlap. The computer program product includes a computer-readable storage device having computer-readable program instructions therein. The method and the instruction perform the following steps: detecting an ear image of a user in one or more pictures of the user taken from the camera in preparation for a phone call; detecting a hearing aid image in conjunction with the ear image; and causing a volume level of the speaker to be set for hearing aid performance as a result of detecting the hearing aid image in conjunction with the ear image.
