Can't hear calls on my iPhone

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PRESS HARD AS A SOLUTION!!!

Moderators and this individual user should have to pay for each phone screen they have ruined just like mine! Horrible, awful absolute worst advice one could possibly offer here. I went to press on my screen and it crushed the **** out of it. It was so bad I couldn't unlock it to take phone or text messages!

I too just started having this same issue. I had gotten my phone replaced from an Apple Store late in 2016. I believe they have me a refurbished phone & since then I have had several ongoing issues with the phone regarding calls-not being able to hear speaker/volume...

Now I can't hear anything & the person on the other end of the call can't hear anything either UNLESS my iPhone is on speaker :(

I’m SO happy you mentioned this as something to try—saved me scouring threads of official ‘contact support if none of these tips have worked’ as the only solution. I just bought my phone 2 days ago and I was sure I had a dud but am so glad that I checked out if anyone else had this issue online before returning my phone! I didn’t hear a click and didn’t have to push hard for the issue to be instantly fixed (don’t push directly on the lens however!). Thumbs up for the help :D

I’m a happy gal now lol

This was the immediate cure to my mysterious speaker problem. thanks for the help

You are a life saver. Thanks so much and you just saved me time and money. I thought I was going to have to buy a new phone.

Thank you I have been trying to resolve this problem for several days. I was getting ready to get new phone and then saw your solution. Thanks for sharing it fixed the problem in two seconds.

Thanks guy, it works

Hi, when receiving a call on my I phone 5c I have to put the loud speaker on to hear the person talking. How can this be fixed

Stevedurko's advice resulted in me cracking my screen too, but it also made the earpiece work so I'm largely OK with the situation.

There is clearly a physical fault with my handset which I can now prove (since pushing on the front camera hasn't permanently fixed the issue, unfortunately)

Previously the Genius bar guys were convinced it was a software fault and were unable to help me.

Time to book in for another session.

My phone is iPhone 5 and my problem roots again in the mentioned cable, although both my cameras were ok. The repair shop (not an apple official one) change it for €20 and that's fix it.

In addition to the main problem, Siri was not able to here me, nomatter I do. Both problems are gone now.

Thanks man, this what helped me as well.

Yeah - that cracked my screen. Thanks dude.

I didn't press until I heard a click, but pressed hard and mine works again too

I press, here the click, it worked for some time and then happens again. Send for repair. Now it is back to normal.

That's just so weird, it worked! Thank you so much! I thought it was an IOS9 issue, but I just have an old iPhone I think.. (iPhone 5)
