Iphone ringer/alarm/timer sounds fade seconds after ringing

The ringer is set at top volume but, whether I set alarm or timer, they're practically imperceptible. Even the phone ranger is softer, though I've not changed any settings. Any ideas of what's gone wrong?

Past suggestions included checking facial Recognition in settings, but I don't see that anywhere.

If the iPhone ring and alarm volume automatically decreases when you are looking at the screen (i.e., when the phone can see that you are responding) and you don't want it to do that, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and turn "Attention Aware Features" off.
