When I cover the right speaker on my iPhone 7 I loose the sound but when I cover the left speaker I don't. Does this mean one of the speakers is not working?

When I cover the right speaker the soulnd level drops considerably but when I cover the left speaker the sound level stays the same, do I have a faulty phone or is the how they are?

iPhone 7, iOS 10.3.2

One speaker is located on the bottom (right side) edge behind the speaker grille...a twin mic is also in this location behind the right speaker grille. The other speaker is located at the top of the phone, where the small slit is, right above the screen. This was done to enhance stereo separation.


The left speaker grille actually contains a microphone...no speaker.
