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?

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!
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!
