iPhone stuck in "headphones" mode

Earlier I accidentally grabbed my iPod headphones instead of my iPhone headphones and I think I may have jammed them in there too far. Because now I can't hear any of the keyboard clicks or sounds and when I receive a text message there's no sound either. And when I receive a call it won't allow me to hear the person on the other line unless I put my headphones in or use the speaker function. And when I turn the ringer volume up/down it says "headphones" in parentheses as if it's been set to "headphones" mode or something! Is it possible that I jammed them in so far that my iPhone thinks my headphones are still plugged in? Did I just totally ruin my iPhone? What do I do? Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks!

Ok, did u try turning it off and on ? It may be a systematic issue. And then actually try SUCKING AND BLOWING in your headphone plug. What worked for me is just leaving The Iphone with earphones plugged overnight. Then take them out in the morning. That should do it.

My I phone was stuck on headphones most of the day.

I tried sucking on the headphone port, and voila my phone is back to normal.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for this! It actually worked!! However did you think this up?

The sucking method is 100% ridiculous, but 100% effective. However, if at first you don’t succeed, try it again. After 3 tries, to my astonishment, everything was back in order! Cheers!
