iPhone 4s left speaker not working!

I have a half year old iPhone 4s and the left speaker is rather dead. Noticed earlier today while using iMovie that there was no sound coming out of it, and now after half an hour of testing I am rather sure that the speaker is dead. No sound at all comes out of it. The right side on works, but the left one is dead.

Is there anything I should still test doing (apart from just covering over one speaker at a time with a finger and seeing if the other one has sound), or should I straigt away tomorrow go to the store where I bought it and see what they say about it? Will they repair it for me? Its half a year old, so it should still have warranty left, yes? In EU region in case that affects anythig.

Thanks for any help!

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

You really d ouch ed up this thread, stedman1. I have the exact same issues & circumstances regarding my iPhone 4 vs 3GS. It's NOT a miracle that her 3GS is louder, mine is the same. I can barely hear the 4. I have to use the 3GS as an alarm so I can wake up! I miss calls & alerts all the time b/c I can't hear them! Seriously, if you don't have anything nice to say, DON'T D OUCH E UP THE THREAD!!!

Two speakers, one located at the top next to front camera a phone earphone speaker, and one at the right bottom opening, a mono music audio media speaker, that may bleed inside the case over into the microphone left side opening.
