Volume seems to be much lower

I bought my Iphone 12 last year around april/may and mainly use it to play music around the house.

Iā€™ve noticed that overtime my volume just seems to be getting worse and worse? I would have the volume on max and it would be enough to hear from another room and now itā€™s on max and iā€™m having to hold it in my hands close to my ear just to be able to hear?! whatā€™s this and why is it happening 😐?

iPhone 12, iOS 16
