iPhone 11 call volume very low

When I use my iPhone's built in speaker to make or receive a call, the volume is very low. It works fine on "speaker phone" and in the car using Blue Tooth. I have tried to adjust the volume during the call and the increase is barely perceptible. I have tried to reboot the phone with no effect. I have tried to toggle the mute button (I keep the mute off) with no success. I have tried toggling the "switches in "Sounds and Haptics" in Settings and no success. Does anyone have any ideas, or should I just go to Apple Store?

iMac, OS X 10.11

Electric Toothbrush 1 maybe 2 minutes brushing over the earpiece speaker grill at the top of phone.

I had very low call volume on 11 pro max, at first I thought I might have a hearing deficit. I tried every software tweak I could find. I was about to purchase a new phone, then decided to research low call volume one last time. I was skeptical of the electric toothbrush fix, but it worked! It's almost now too loud now, I now tend to back off the volume to around 3/4 level. I was truely shocked that it's now fixed. It wasn't an Apple conspiracy after all.

Some people say they use a wet electric toothbrush, I just used a dry brush.
