Can't hear caller on iPhone 12 Pro unless on Speaker

I cannot hear the caller on my iPhone 12 Pro unless I have it on speaker. I can only barely hear someone and it sounds muffled. I haven't spilt anything on it and don't know why I am having this problem.


Please any help would be greatly appreciated!

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

I’m having the same issue. I read online Apple will fix the speakers for free but not sure if I have to have AppleCare or not
