Curious new icon

Hullo,
I apologize if this question has previously been addressed, but I wasn't able to find this stubborn icon's meaning anywhere.
I'm dying of curiosity and also want to make it go away.
I'm referring to the icon to the left of the wifi symbol.
What is it, please?
Thanks!
I think it is the accessibility feature in Jelly Bean, which reads out settings and menus, etc. for disabled people. You should be able to disable it in Settings > Accessibility.

Thanks, but nothing in Settings > Accessibility is enabled other than Auto-rotate screen
FWIW while my sense version is 4.1, my Android is only 4.0.4 ICS

Wait, you were indeed on the right track. I had apparently inadvertently enabled HAC for hearing aids.
Well played and thanks.

How do enable and activate "floating windows"

Hi guys, I Dont know how to activate "floating windows" on my device. I
downloaded EasyTouch(Holo Style) from play store and when I run the app
I got a pop up message "enable and activate display floating window". I've searched the device setting but I can't find/dont know how to activate the floating window. Can anyone tell me how to activate that thing? By the way I'm on android 6 (marshmallow) by fire588.
Thanks in advance.

I think you need to enable the " draw over other apps" under app permissions in settings

Thanks for the response. But I can't find " draw over other apps" under app permission under settings. All I can find under the app permission is toggle for camera, phone,location,storage etc. I found "multi window mode" in the developers option and I enabled it but that didn't solve my problem either. Tried googling, but got no solution. Some said that "display floating window" has been dropped by google in android 6 due to security reasons. Is that true?
Edit: Thanks. Solved my problems. Many thanks.
Settings - notifications - manage notifications - select desired app and turn on floating window
There is a multi-window option under developer settings. Just saying. I know it is not the same as floating windows.

Stop access to pull down in screen lock

On Stock system and if screen is locked I can still access the pull down menu to turn on WiFi etc
How can I get it so this is not possible if phone locked
Thanks
I'm on the latest Android 10 beta so I don't know if it's the same, but go to settings, security and lockscreen, then tap the gear icon that's next to "screen lock", then enable the option "disable quick settings panel on lock screen"

broken 'work profile/show notifications content' after Android 10 update

Hello,
I have a problem on SM-N975F after Android 10 update.
I'm using Work profile, and got "show notifications content" enabled. Problem is that even if it's enabled in 'Settings -> Work profile -> Notifications and data -> Show notifications content' it does not work, and even if I disable this option, go one menu level up and return again it's again enabled.
Any ideas how to fix it? maybe some way to reset work profile settings?
Thank you for your help!
