How to turn off “Listen for Hey Siri” completely?

There used to be the option to turn off “listen for hey siri”, so the only way to engage siri was by holding the side button. It seems that feature has been removed, and changed to:

“Listen for ‘Hey Siri’ when your iPhone is facing down or covered.”

Is there some way to *never* listen for hey siri?
