iPhone 11 PM Ear Speaker Volume Low (alien.top)

I normally use my speaker phone or earbuds when I make calls, but all the sudden yesterday I noticed the volume on my ear speaker is really low. Not sure when this started.

I can have a conversation with it, but it takes some careful listening. I had a couple other people compare it against their phones and the difference is noticeable.

*The volume is all the way up using the volume buttons

*I tried turning off Noise Cancellation

*I rebooted

*I turned off / on Bluetooth, Wifi, and Airplane mode

*Currently on iOS 17.1

I am planning to hand me down this phone to my dad when my 15 PM comes in tomorrow and want to get this repaired or figured out before I do so. Phone is in mint condition otherwise so this kind of bummed me out when I realized it.

I called Best Buy (don’t live close to an Apple Store) and their over the phone estimate was $79 which seems worth it, but figured I would check here.

Any other suggestions before I do that?

I wasn’t charged at Best Buy ether. They just cleaned the port and gave it back to me. I said thank you a million times over and that was that.

I had mine cleaned at Best Buy when this happened to me and it was good as new!

CLEAN IT. ITS NOT BROKEN ITS COVERED IN DEBRIS AND DUST. TAKE A SOFT TOOTHBRUSH PUT ON THE TOOTHBRUSH 99% ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL AND RUB FOR 1 MIN THE EAR SPEAKER, WHILE DOING THAT PUT AN 165HZ TONE TO PLAY SO THE DUST CAN COME OUT WHILE YOU CLEAN IT!
