Have you tried telling siri to turn voiceover off and then telling siri to turn
voiceover on? Just realize that when you hold the button in to tell siri to
turn back on you may not hear a sound to indicate siri is activated.

But if I can’t hear any of the phone’s controls, I’m not sure how to navigate
my way to that setting: I usually do it with VO and speech on, but wtihout
speech (which is probably low because of the volume) I can’t get there! Is
there a way to reset it without navigating there?
It’s a catch-22 isn’t it?

There is a separate volume slider within the voiceover controls within
settings/accessibility. It might be worth checking it, even though you can
hear music, to check that it’s set to 100%, regardless of the master volume
of the system.

I think volume is okay as I can play and hear music. unfortunately wouldn’t
you know I’m traveling and don’t have the piece to connect ordinary earphone
to an iphone 8. And I think I’ve lost my airpods! Hopefully I have sighted
friends I’m seeing tomorrow who may ve avle to check volume.
Thanks for the advice though.

Sorry, I didn't see those messages. All I saw was that voiceover was on. It
should either be that voiceover is off, which you have said it isn't, or
that speech is toggled off, or that your voiceover volume has somehow gone
way down. You could try putting your earphones in. If you still don't hear
it, begin turning the volume up with the earphones in and see if you
eventually can hear it. This all of course will only work if speech is
toggled on.

Yes as I stated in my original message I’ve tried toggling speecyon/off
with 3-finger double tap many times. Nothing works.

Muting and on/off are two different things. If you have muted voiceover but
voiceover is still on, you tap twice with three fingers to turn speech back
on.

My iphone 8 phone running the latest IOS software stopped talking. I know
volume is on because music plays! I can send and receive texts and phone
messages so I know the phone is working but I can’t make it talk! I keep
toggling the speech-on command: nothing! I got speech back once but then
went into a game which seemed to lock things up again.
Any thoughts?
