If you mean the earpiece speaker is muffles that can be due to either dirt or the speaer has been damaged.

If it is the latter you can get by with a change to the accessibility settings.

Settings, Accessibility, Touch, Call audio Routing, Speaker and use the bottom speaker all the time.

I had to do that when I dropped my iphone 12 and got the same symptom.
