I have the same problem. I have the iphone 4 and after upgrading i can not hear out of receiver speaker. Loud speaker and headphones work, but not the receiver speaker for the ear.

I used a vacuum cleaner hose, turned the phone up so the jack hole faced down and turned on the vacuum. I had to cup my fingers around the jack hole to get enough suction. I also used a bamboo skewer to loosen the dust in the jack hole first. Be gentle, but it works! I can hear again and don't have to talk to everyone on speaker phone mode!

My iPhone 4S when answered, I could not hear through the earpiece. I had to tap the speaker phone to hear. I have seen a lot of responses, so...what I did was insert an ear bud jack about a dozen times and no help.


Then I used air in a can, I used that compressed air and blew into the ear bud jack and the problem was resolved when tested.


Pretty darn simple and inexpensive.


I hope this helps some people out there 🙂
