Are you adjusting the volume controls while on the call? The controls are context sensitive; on the Home screen they control ringer and notifications volume; on a phone call, the call volume. Also, when Siri is speaking they control Siri’s voice, and in apps they control app volume. And the settings in each scenario are remembered.
