Can NOT hear caller

Often when I receive a call I cannot hear the caller but they can hear me. They have to call back or I call them back. It has nothing to do with the volume. It happens often. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max. I have excellent reception in the areas where I am receiving these calls so it is not a reception problem.
