I had the same exact issue! Apple does not cheaply make their devices, but yes sometimes they will have defects or issues. Some on apples side some on the users side. If you have dropped your phone recently or it has been jostled in any way, the connectors up in the earpiece could have possibly come loose resulting in no sound. If you are a "tech savvy" person like me this is an easy fix. To fix this issue, you just need to, open the phone take the screen off then the earpiece and make sure the connector right above the little speaker is clean and firmly connected. But if you are not exactly "tech savvy", then I would look up a disassembley/ reassembly of an iPhone 6 screen on YouTube. And if that's too complicated for you, then I would recommend taking the phone into a repair shop or expirienced friend to fix your iPhone. I did this and it worked like a charm hope it does for you too!


Ps: I know this question was asked in 2014 and it's 2017, but this should help people currently having this issue solve it.
