High Pitched Sound in Ear Buds

Yesterday morning, my earbuds were working fine. Then, that afternoon, I plugged in my ear buds, and they were making a high pitched sound. After about 10-15 seconds, it stopped. I tried playing music, by heard no sound coming from my earbuds. The music was coming from my phone speakers. So whenever I plug in my earbuds, it doesn’t register that they are plugged in. Please help (iPhone 8)

Hi Tylerw902,


It sounds like you're having some trouble with your headphones and I want to help.


Is this happening with the Lightning EarPods that came with your iPhone?


Have a look at this article that can help:

Make sure to follow the steps to clear any debris, check the port on your iPhone for debris as well.


Good luck.

Hi Tyler,


If you checked your iPhone for debris on the receiver and Lightning port, and don't believe those to be the source of the issue, then you should seek service for your device.


Find assistance with the nearest Apple Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or Apple Support here:

Good luck.
