Call volume

When making or receiving calls the other person is not very loud. They can hear me but I can hardly hear them? Tried all the obvious, turning up volume etc while on call. Any suggestions

iPhone 12, iOS 14

I just fixed my wife’s iPhone 7 with the same problem. Put a small piece of painters tape (usually blue) over the small “line” of speaker at the top of your phone and then gently press (I used a wooden chopstick). After a second or two, slowly pull away. I did this three times and it made a huge difference in call volume. Painters tape is best because it is designed not to leave residue. Good luck!
