Can’t hear caller

Hi, I have an iPhone 8 recently, probably after an update, when I receive a call or make a call for that matter, an orange dot appears in the top right of the screen and I cannot hear the other person except on speaker. This is a new problem, this is an extremely annoying problem. Does anyone have any suggestions before I throw my phone in the bin.

Thanks everyone, cheers

iPhone 8, iOS 14
