Why is ear speaker not working on iPhone

Hi there Rayctwo,

If the receiver (earpiece) of your iPhone is not working as expected, first ensure you followed all these steps from If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker (that you've already looked over):

If you want to try more steps on your own

If you prefer, here are some more steps you can try on your own. After following these steps, you might still need to contact Apple Support to discuss service options.

1. Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. 

2. Check the speaker opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver isn't blocked or dirty. 

3. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry.

4. Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you don't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker might need service.

5. If you hear sound, try making a call with your iPhone and turn on speakerphone. On iPad or iPod touch, make a FaceTime call. If you still can't hear, or hear static or crackling, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try to call again later, or from a different location.

If this continues after performing those steps, then we would recommend contacting Apple Support using the link at the top of those steps so that they can look into your next available options.

Cheers!

Thanks for giving those steps a try Rayctwo,

At this point contacting Apple Support would be the best option at finding a resolution.
