iPhone XS Max sound stops working until restart

Approximately once a week, the sound on my iPhone XS Max stops working. The alarm sound is not playing, the sound of YouTube videos are not playing, and no other sounds are playing from the loudspeaker on my phone. I can only hear a very low "wind sound" coming from the speaker.


I have to restart my phone to get the sound back. The sound is then fine and works for all applications and the alarm.


This is very problematic, because it means that each night I need to test to see if the alarm sound is working, or if I have to restart the phone. Otherwise it won't wake me up in the morning.


Anyone else with the same issue? Do I need to get it repaired?



iPhone XS Max, iOS 12
