SIRI responds to others but will not respond to me

Anyone saying "HEY SIRI" receives a response from SIRI on my iPhone 12. SIRI, however, will not respond to me. Any ideas on how to remedy this will be much appreciated.

Set up "Hey Siri" to help Siri recognize your voice

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Siri & Search.
  3. Turn off Listen for "Siri or Hey Siri," then turn it back on.
  4. When the Set Up "Hey Siri" screen appears, tap Continue.
  5. Say each command that you see on your screen.
  6. Tap Done.
