Sound quality starting to get bad on your iphone ear speaker?
It is likely getting clogged with oils from your face and or dirt / makeup.
A cotton swab, and a can of compressed air (or a straw) can help remedy this situation!

Finally a solution to a common problem. Thank you so much. Apparently apple don't know what to do since they don't tell us about it in their guides. They should hire you. Tip my hat off to you good sir.
They do know what to do.. they just want us to pay them to do it 😉 or tell us they cant do anything so we buy another😬
Tbh I was a bit hesitant to mess around with my iPhone thinking I might end up scratching the earpiece or making it worse 😬 But I tried what you suggested & it worked wonders. I can finally hear everything clearly & there’s no crackling anymore. Thanx a lot mate 👍🏼

You saved my phone from having to disassembly it and change the earspeaker. It was cracking and I couldnt almost hear anything. Followed your guide and now it sounds clean and even louder. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Your welcome~! Which phone do you have? Please give the video a like!
The brush from the other videos didnt work but the que tip did the trick, went from literally almost not hearing nothing to louder than ever. Thank you
Your welcome! Please subscribe for my occasional useful review, and awesome exploration videos!
You got it👍
Correct way to charge iPhone XS
yes! result the cotton bud (in my case I used a wet wipe) worked
I just tried with Alcohol Prep Pad which has 70%. I rubbed it very well and used the cotton to clean the earpiece. Finally I used the compressed air and it worked. Thanks for the video.
I was going to use alcohol in the video, but people are liable to misuse it and damage phones, so I decided the cotton swab alone was best. You are correct though, that does work better. Please give the video a like!
If you look close enough you will see the layer of dirt on the ear speaker, try to rub it with the brush until you see it at least partly clean again, aka the dirt is gone. Doesn't have to clean the whole thing as it's difficult (it's small), but as long as part of it is dirt free, even just a thin line, it makes a whole world of difference. Try it out.
Thank you so much! The swab thing did the job perfectly, and without canned air, only the swab and after a little bit of alcohol (very very little amount drop in the cotton, to remove all the leftover grease and dirt.) Then clean swab again. And this also works on the bottom speaker too. If you dont have canned air like me, i recommend double sided elastic tape, cover the bottom speaker holes and with a toothpick just gently push the tape inside the little holes, (Really gently,and not with force! You dont want to break the grills and/or push in the dirt.) Do a few rotation moves carefully on each hole with a now “tape covered” pick, and pull off the tape. You will see, how much dirt come out from this tiny holes. This method will improve the sound quality and fix the quiet speaker problem to. Again, Thanks for the video!
I’m glad it worked for you the alcohol is a good idea I didn’t include it in this video because there’s always gonna be some dummy the pours alcohol into his phone. Please give it a like!
You a legend
After trying EVERYTHING- your video majorly fixed BOTH my 11 Pro Max and my wife’s older 6s. The Q-Tip and some hand sanitizer and blow with a straw, took less than five minutes and WOW we actually have to turn it DOWN now. THANK YOU
Glad to hear it worked. Please give the video a like!
I’ve watched so many videos regarding this issue, but only your solution worked for me. Thank you! 👍
You're welcome!
The q tip worked for me!!!! I’ve been struggling for years. Thank u!!!!!
Your welcome! Please give the video a like!
You’re a lifesaver! Just the cotton swab did the trick. I did get some sauce on there and it made it almost impossible to hear out of, thought that cleaning it this way would just push the material into the phone and make it worse but it’s loud and clear and most of it came off!
Glad it helped! Please give the video a like!
I watched and tried several methods to remove sticky dust from my iPhone earpiece but didn’t work, and I watched this video and I followed the same method and amazed to see that all sticky dust came out of my earpiece, it seriously worked and I started hearing clear voice once again. Thank you so much. Love from India❤️

omg thank you so much for this tip 🙌🏽i had to either use my car bluetooth or loudspeakers because i couldn’t hear my callers
Your welcome, please give the video a like!
I used a curaprox ultra soft toothbrush after having soaked the gunk in isopropyl, the brushes are fine enough to pass through the grill unclogging the earpiece. Probs not the ideal way but after the q tip failed this worked pretty well after a minute of two.
I Used a wet q tip and scrubbed. And scrubbed and scrubbed. My speaker didn’t looked clogged up but the more I scrubbed I started notice oh small holes and I kept going and now it sounds perfect! I used a super small amount of soapy water and it seemed to go much faster! Fixed it within 5 minutes!!! thank you!!!
hmm. I didn't try that. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I missed with the settings for like 3 weeks now. Cleaned the speaker with a q-tip like you said. Would have to put my calls on speaker because I couldn’t hear. I thought for sure I was loosing my hearing. Thought I might even need a Jitterbug.Now I can hear my callers.
Well, thank god you don't need a Jitterbug. That's a punishment phone.
After 3 months of thinking my phone was done for, this simple trick worked. 10/10 thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I had a problem convincing people that a swab would help fix their problem. A lot of people gave this video a thumbs down. Please give the video a like!
@@SurrealAdventure Also, a good indicator to pinpoint the issue is to put your ear on the back of the phone. If you hear sound or vibrations, it means that the speakers work properly and the ear speaker hole is muffled.
I’ve tried to replace the earpiece as the initial one sounded very distorted and it was fine on calls but on audio output you can only hear the sound if you place your ear by the earpiece
Thank you so much watched other videos but none of them said to use the ear swap know I can hear

Thanks a lot your technique worked amazing. I just did some modifications by using alcohol swab.
Your welcome, alcohol swab works great. I didn't include that in the video because there's always people that will drown their phone then blame. Please give the video a like!
Thank you for this video. I was worried it was a hardware issue but I just cleaned it with a cue tip and the sound from the earpiece is loud again.

This here is the best way to clean your earpiece grill, i tried using a tooth brush, but it wasn't tactile enough. Just make sure you dont put much pressure or a sharp object like a needle or something. The grating sensation makes you feel like you're cleaning it up but the grill will tear off. (happened with my old iPX)
Thanks for sharing
Dang this just helped me. I was using a toothbrush but it didn’t work till I tried the ear swab. No more putting my phone on speaker to talk to someone

Baby wipes and brush worked just fine. Thanks a lot 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
You’re welcome 😊
Worked beautifully on iPhone XR, thx! Do you have recs for cleaning the bottom speakers?
I just use a vacuum.

The electric toothbrush works best for me! Same concept, my brush cleaned so much dust off the headphone area, now its very loud! Thanks!
Depending on your iPhone, you need to be careful, as bristles could poke small holes in the screen and affect your water resistance.
It works a lot of people would say that it doesn’t work but I just used a cotton swab and I didn’t even used the straw
It works better if you use the straw. Glad it helped you. Please given r video a like!

@@SurrealAdventure I just liked it ;).
this is the first time i watched a solution video which ACTUALLY works. im so happy the que tip one works so well. i can hear very well now when people call me. 🤩
It will keep happening again and again, but the qtip always works. Please give my video a like!
@@SurrealAdventure yes 👏 thank you so much for the video. it was really helpful! will definitely give the video a like 👍🏻
Cotton bud, alkohol and toothbrush. Xs max Repaired Thank you :)
I wouldn't use the toothbrush, it can poke holes in the little semi permeable membrane, then your phone would lose it's water resistance.
I have a couple of cans of compressed air, one of which lives in a pigeon hole on my desk for such times as iPhones need blowing out. You certainly can, buy it here in Europe. I live in the UK.
Gotcha, I had some people from different countries asking where on earth they could get cans of air, and that they had never seen it before. It turned into a big complaint on my original video (another older one like this), so I updated it with a straw.
Great video fixed the problem👍👍👍

You are amazing!! This q-tip worked so well. It is so much louder now. Have a “like”. Thanks!!
Your welcome! Thank you for the like!
I used this method with isopropyl alcohol. It worked awesome. Thank you so much!
I wanted to include that in the video, but I’m sure someone will mess the phone up with alcohol, so I just suggest it on the comments.
@@SurrealAdventure agreed. a slightly damp q-tip with 91 or 99% IPA will work wonders. Rub it back and forth on both ends of the q-tip and then gently blow to help the IPA evaporate. But you're right... there'll always be that one person that soaks the phone grill or q-tip and ends up getting IPA under the display and causes streaking under the display. 99/91% IPA isn't as conductive as plain old tap water, but it still does contain 1-9% water. Not the best idea to get too much into the internals of the phone but I dont think it'd hurt if a smidge did enter through the bottom speaker holes.
THANKYOU FOR YOUR COMMENT, i tried it on my iphone xr and it works 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you!! Didnt have a q tip near but a piece of paper towel did the trick!
Try the q tip, works much better.
It worked. Now it´s really loud. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Saved my bacon!
I had dropped it on the pool and the sound went really low, i just needed to follow your instructions but even without the air can it worked!
Crazy that apple did not want to fix it because of being in contact with pool water and wanted me to buy a replacement for 560 euros.
My face ID also deactivated, i assume its the same problem - I will open the iPhone 11 pro and clean everything.
Hmm. I guess it depends if there was water damage. The iphone 11 pro is water resistant to a point.
My man you make wonders! So simple and so effective, bravo!
Glad it worked, Please give the video a like!
you can also stick tape to the speaker and rub it lightly with a toothpick so that the tape covers the entire speaker. then just tear off the adhesive tape and the speaker is clean
Its my patent
Thank you! It worked 👍🏻😉

I used tape and a toothpick to clean mine. I put the tape over the speaker and gently pressed it down on the speaker and then lifted it off. Several times later the sound was much better.
Thank you! Worked like a charm!
Be careful with the air duster, it may damage the speaker. Happened to me
Blutack works very well guys. It’s non-damaging and there’s no water. Also it cleans itself up.
This worked! I was about to buy a speaker and a tools to open the phone. No need! Thanks!!!

The Q-Tip did it, I thought my speaker was broken and now it works like a charm!
Glad to hear it worked. Which phone?
@@SurrealAdventure iPhone XS Max
It works! But im now worried that a little bit of liquid went on the screen... I was holding it up right. I wiped it but i now think the cold liquid did something to my screen... 😅
I definitely hear a difference, and that's great. The musical Wizard having speaker problems? Almost unheard of!
Spilled Baileys on my 12 pro new years eve, it sounds terrible.
Even though I was there instantly with a napkin I can see it’s dried in the vent.
Do you think a q-tip with some alcohol might work to clean? Since it’s sugary I don’t think a dry clean will suffice
As long as you haven’t replaced any internal parts such as a battery or camera or port, The iPhone 12 is water resistant, I would try running the speaker element under warm water and then cleaning it again with a swab
@@SurrealAdventure never been opened this phone and no cracks, warm water swab then? Running a phone under water would just feel wrong 😂
A great big thanks to you Ed 😀. I have an iPhone 12 and got muffled audio calls from the top speaker. I tried your q-tip and it’s back to normal !! You saved me a lot of stress down here 🇹🇹 😎

Thank you so much for posting. Who would have known. I used rubbing alcohol while holding the phone upside down, and used air from my air compressor (not full blast). Under the sun light I could see the (ear wax) I presume. Bought used iphone and thought there was a hardware problem. Just dirty.

YOU'RE THE MAN! IT WORKED
Glad to hear, please give the video a like, so UA-cam recommends it more!
I just got an iPhone XR last two weeks ago and I haven’t done this solution yet but the ear speaker sounds like the bass is super loud and disrupts my UA-cam videos I’m watching because it makes it all staticky noises also makes people sound like I’m speaking to them on a old radio.
not sure about the bass, but sounding like your on an old radio may be because of the case you have it in. There is usually a little mic on the back of the iphone, usually next to the cameras/flash (the tiny hole) and sometimes cases can block that, or cause the sound to reflect wrong to it. The iphone generally uses that mic while on a call to do noise cancellation, so make sure it's clear. You can also try turning off noise cancellation in the phone call settings.
This worked!!! Thank you!!

There’s 2 holes in my iPhone 7 Plus ear speaker how can I fix that?
If there are physical holes in your Iphone 7 Plus speaker, you would need to replace the speaker. I would just keep it from getting wet, support for it will likely drop with ios16 next year.
