Working?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various reasons why you may experience your iPhone&nbsp;ear speaker not working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it may be because of a <strong>connection with a Bluetooth device<\/strong>, <strong>sound settings<\/strong>, <strong>bugs<\/strong>, or an <strong>outdated iOS version<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may also happen if the iPhone&nbsp;owner has been using it for a long time without cleaning it, and it is common for <strong>dirt and dust to accumulate<\/strong> in the speaker and block the path of sound waves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have checked these and still can\u2019t figure out the issue with the ear speaker not working on your iPhone, kindly follow the below troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-fix-iphone-ear-speaker-not-working\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-fix-iphone-ear-speaker-not-working\"><\/span>How To Fix iPhone Ear Speaker Not Working<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your iPhone ear speaker is not working, here are a few ways to fix the&nbsp;ear speaker on your iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fix-1-check-the-sound-settings\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"fix-1-check-the-sound-settings\"><\/span>Fix 1: Check the Sound Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your iPhone&nbsp;has issues with sound quality, or if you hardly hear people\u2019s voices clearly because of crackling, check the sound settings (<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Sound &amp; Haptics<\/mark>) on your device and see if there is anything you turned off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the issues persist, drag the ringer and Alerts slider back and forth and then restart your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fix-2-update-your-iphone-to-the-latest-ios-version\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

earlier, your iPhone&nbsp;ear speaker not working may be due to an outdated iOS version or bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So updating your iPhone&nbsp;system is the best way to eliminate underlying bugs that cause ear speaker issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To update your iPhone, Open the&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Settings<\/mark>, go to&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">General<\/mark>, then <mark

class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Download &amp; Install<\/mark>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fix-3-turn-off-phone-noise-cancellation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"fix-3-turn-off-phone-noise-cancellation\"><\/span>Fix 3: Turn Off Phone Noise Cancellation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although, iPhone&nbsp;noise cancellation is supposed to help cancel background noise and reduce ambient noise during phone calls to make the calls sound clearer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it may be the issue in this case. It makes phone calls sound a little wonky, so turning it off can do more good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To turn off your Phone Noise Cancellation, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Settings<\/mark><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Accessibility<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Audio\/Visual<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Background Sounds<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn off&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Background Sounds<\/mark>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fix-4-clean-the-ear-speaker\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"fix-4-clean-the-ear-speaker\"><\/span>Fix 4: Clean the ear speaker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is common for dirt and dust to accumulate in the speaker of your iPhone, but if it is not cleaned at least twice a month, it could block the passage and path of sound waves and affect the iPhone&#8217;s voice quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To clean the Ear Speaker, follow these steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Avoid using liquids, such as rubbing alcohol, cleaning spray, or vinegar, to clean the ear speaker (it could cause permanent damage)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gently clean any visible dirt, water, or oil from the ear speaker grill with a soft-bristled toothbrush, anti-static brush, or a Q-Tip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check if the issue is gone.

You may have accidentally adjusted the volume level too low during a phone call, so we recommend you do this first before trying any other method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While adjusting the volume, you can also adjust the Audio Volume Balance in the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To adjust the Audio volume Balance, Go to&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Settings<\/mark>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Accessibility<\/mark>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Audio\/Visual<\/mark>, and under&nbsp;<strong>Balance<\/strong>.&nbsp;Use the&nbsp;<strong>slider<\/strong>&nbsp;to adjust the Volume balance left and right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fix-7-remove-all-screen-protectors-and-cases\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"fix-7-remove-all-screen-orotectors-and-cases\"><\/span>Fix 7: Remove all screen orotectors and cases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If cleaning the ear speaker does not entirely get rid of the problem, screen protectors and phone cases may be the cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can block the iPhone\u2019s speaker and make it hard for you to hear any sound. You should remove all the screen protectors and cases and see how it turns out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fix-8-reset-all-settings\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"fix-8-reset-all-settings\"><\/span>Fix 8: Reset All Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still have issues with your iPhone&nbsp;ear speaker after trying all the methods above, you should reset your settings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reset all settings on your iPhone, open the&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Settings<\/mark>&nbsp;app, go to&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">General<\/mark>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Transfer or Reset iPhone<\/mark>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Reset<\/mark>, and then tap&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Reset all settings<\/mark>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the reset has been completed, you will have to reconnect and set up everything.
