Is your iPhones ear speaker quiet or muffled and you can barely hear people on calls? In this video I will show you this neat little hack for cleaning iPhone ear speakers.
We identified the 165hz tone as the most suitable sound to thoroughly clean iPhone top speaker. when combined with a little isopropyl alcohol this is an effective trick to really get all the gunk out of the little mesh at the top of the phone.
I hope you enjoy the videos as much as I do making them. Thank you for watching!

I don't have isopropyl alcohol. What else can I use?
Can it be 90% isopropyl alcohol?
I don't know how to thank you enough. I was using my phone on speaker for past 2 years and now after just 5 minutes I have normal speaker sound. Thank you so much!
DUDE YOU'RE A LIFESAVER!!!!!!! For years I always had to answer phone calls on speaker because I could barely hear the other person thru the ear piece. I didn't have isopropyl alcohol so I used hydrogen peroxide and it worked like a charm. GOD BLESS YOU!
bro what is hydrogen peroxide?
please something we have in our home
I came back here just to like the video and tell you it worked better than I thought.
I couldn’t believe how great it worked.
Thank you so much
Worked first time, was about to put it in the repair shop , quoted £45 for speaker replacement . Got to love UA-cam and the guys who help us daily . Thank you
I’m really glad this helped - we quote the same for speaker replacement but 9 times out of 10 this is the solution - we don’t charge to do that
@@iDoctorUK what can we use instead of that alcohol ?
@@donaldduck5804 they sell it in any store that sells bandaids and first aid kits. It'll be by the hydrogen peroxide and dirt cheap
I am so amazed that my mouth is literally hanging open. I didn’t realize how bad my speaker was. Even as I type this, I can hear the hepatic keyboard sound. There is a special place for you for showing me this ❤
This is amazing! My 11 all of a sudden became so quiet on calls even when at max volume. Following these steps and using that other165hz tone video, it was back to near new condition in just 5 minutes.
That’s great news, I’m glad you found this video
I've used UA-cam videos to guide me through everything from car repair to recording studio tutorials and this one was the MOST USEFUL video I've ever used! Worked perfectly on my wife's phone. Thanks for your help!
I would like to thank you VERY MUCH for inspiring me to get a second hand iPhone XR I bought recently. I made a Reddit post called "If your ear-speaker is muffled, try this." and of course, gave you due credit. Cheers from Portugal.
liquid name plz ?
@@ZohaibKhan-nb3hi isopropyl alcohol
Hi josé I have the same issue for my iPhone 12 pro , when i played the 165Hz sound of Idoctoruk i could hear a slight vibration sound from my ear speaker does it mean that my ear speaker is alright i just need to clean it . Please reply brother it will help me alot 🙏Thanks..
@@zaidkadiri8190SAME HERE… all of a sudden can’t hear anything unless on speaker phone
😂that’s exactly why I’m here. Same reason and same phone.
Just came here to comment.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
I already had attempted the cleaning process, and the speaker was muffled. I did this procedure, but i only had ethylic alcohol.
But it worked, the alcohol started to vibrate and the sound is louder. Is is not perfect, but now usable again.
Thank you very much!!! 🎉❤😅😂
I was already thinking of having my iPhone’s ear speaker replaced, but then this worked for me. My speaker was just fixed for free. Thanks a lot! You deserve a Ballon d’Or!
Ballon d’Or 😂😂😂😂😂
Bro what
how you make this sound comes out of your upper speaker?
I was going to be really annoyed if I had to replace my 11 ProMax due to the earpiece speaker. This worked perfectly in tandem with the 165hz tone video. Bravo sir, thank you for putting this on the internet
Had an iPhone X earpiece speaker that was barely audible even at full volume. After only a few minutes of following this guide, it is SO MUCH BETTER. It is actually crazy the difference this made. Thank you so much!
how you make this sound comes out of your upper speaker?
After making sure the screen protector was removed, brushing it with a toothbrush, ensuring the audio balance was set to the middle, disabling automatic call routing, and even trying to "jiggle" the audio slider, this video was the only thing that actually worked. Thank you! =)
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! i literally thought the speakrs on my xs max were busted, but they were just filled with dirt. now with your help, they are back to normal, louder than ever, thanks again!!
The earspeaker on my iPhone 12 was sounding distorted at high volumes. This procedure fixed it. Thank you!
Was not expecting to find a solution like this.
I was ready to either go replace the speaker and risk harming the weather sealing, or buying a new phone.
I have an iPhone 11 so upgrading would be fine, but with this fixed, I can replace my battery and go on for another year no problem.
Thank you!
Tried it just now, cause my iphone 11 ear speakers are very muffled and surprisingly it works!! Thank you so much for this helpful tip it got me save money before taking it to repair shop.
How did you put the alcohol on the speaker?
Hi, I just want to say thank you…I made this on my phones (iPhone 11 and 11 Pro Max) and now I can hear so good…the situation was critical but now it’s amazing…Thank you 😊❤
I was doubting all the positive comments... like too good... but in my case I have been struggling with the microphone that is behind that grill... Siri was unable to hear me... in just 2 minutes of your method... it works... I was 100% sure the microphone was dead. Thanks a lot.
Legend!
I spent the past 6 hours trying to work out if it’s time I finally pass on my trusted XR and get a new IPhone I don’t want.
Turns out all I needed to do was clean my ear piece and the mic and it’s brand new.
Thanks!
Legend, this has been pissing me off for months always had to use speaker phone to hear people, tried water and a toothbrush with no success. Didn’t have isopropyl alcohol so used acetone instead and it worked. I actually got a new iPhone when this happened to my last iPhone.
I cannot appreciate you enough for making this video! I tried everything and nothing was working, but instantly after doing this the speaker completely cleared up! You're a wizard!!
hey, did you use the isopropyl. because i dont have it
Wow! I’ve had a 14 pro max for almost two years. I haven’t had much speaker issues yet, but I’m going to save this video for the future thank you!
I replaced isopropyl alcohol with my contact lenses cleaner liquid and it worked 😊 thanks. Those who don’t have isopropyl alcohol can try this hack.
Thanks sooo much for your guide. Super simple to follow. My ip12 speaker was barely audible, 5 mins following your guide and whilst not perfect its soooo much clear and totally usable again. I didn't have the isopropanol but went with standard hand sanitizer which has 70% alcohol as an alternative. still worked as per video. thank you iDoctorUK!
Such a good comment cause I don’t have that other stuff but glad hand sanitizer works
What else can I use if I don’t have any of the two?
You can get isopropanol as rubbing alcohol or surgical alcohol from your local pharmacy. That’s what I did, and once clear your speaker will push all the liquid away.
Nearly gave up but after 15mins of scubbing I finally got bubbles, absolutely thank you for the great help!
Tested on my iphone 12 pro max and it really works! Could barely hear the other person speak, now it's like brand new again. Thank you!
Thank you so muchhhh brother!!! Now my ear speaker is back to normal again. I nearly gave up because I’ve search for a lot of tutorials on youtube and none of them solve my problem. Thumbs up for your video!
Glad I could help
THANK YOU A LOT.... i thought my 13's speaker was broken and i had no hopes while watching you... I did and it worked thank you a lot i did exactly what you done in the video.... A lot of thanks from turkey
Excellent!
Tried it on a 13 pro max, it definitely worked! Within 5 mins the earpiece speaker is back to brand new volume! Huge shoutout to video creator and thanks ALOT !!
Thank you so much Sir. My iphone 13 ear speaker too much slow sound when I am in a call. I use this hack, and it's so much benefit for me.
Just tried this and it works a treat…. My speaker isn’t 100% but it’s night and day to what it was…. Brilliant 👍
I very rarely comment on videos but I felt the need to comment on this one. This trick actually worked like a charm!! Cancelling my appointment to the Apple Store this weekend.
Awesome! I’m glad this helped!
Literately been muffled for 2+ years! Thought I would have to replace the entire speaker. Love the Video!!
This worked for me on an iPhone11. Assumed it needed a new ear speaker module at first. But tried this. I used nail varnish remover, as didn’t have any alcohol. Not sure if this is a good idea or not but I was desperate and it’s been fine.
Could hear it get louder when I put a few drops on, with the tone playing. Got louder again after a few scrubs with the brush. Took a few goes to get all the embedded crud out. All good now. Thanks.
Thank you, so much! I was out of alcohol so I used hydrogen peroxide and it worked as well !
Thank you so much my friend I also used hydrogen peroxide and it worked just as well. speaker is A-1 again!!
Worked Awesome! I was going to buy a new phone because I could hear much at all out of the ear speaker. After seeing the prices I started searching how to fix the speaker and came across this. Worked perfectly! Thank you so much!!!
God bless you! Mine is officially working no issues at all. I couldn’t listen to callers i am always using the loud speaker option. Until I stumbled upon this video. I just did it and it fixed my iPhone 12pmax . God bless you
THANK YOU! I have a iphone x with a muffled speaker,tried this and bam! Almost as good as new! You deserve all the subscribers in the world!
I know that this sounds like a generic cooment. But I bought a used iPhone 12 mini and the ear speaker sounded like it had been blown out by a loud music. Tried this tutorial and the muffled sound is gone! Thank you so much for this fix!
As long as you hear any sound coming from your ear speaker - try this before handing it to repair shop! Just use small drops and clean all the wet drops with a cleaning cloth.
iPhone 12 speaker sound restored plus my son’s 11. Brilliant! Thank you!!
Hallaluha, it works! I have a Samsung Galaxy phone. I can now hear what people are saying during calls without always having to put em on speaker phone. Thanks so much for this vid info solution!
Literally could not place phone calls without speaker phone for almost a year. I tried everything to try get to work. Thinking I ruined my phone and wanting to get a new one… You sir, just saved me so much money 😅
I’m glad this helped
I searched all over the internet this is the best solution it works 100% thanks i didn't have the isopropyl alcohol so i used some rum it work like a charm
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum 🍾
Brilliant! I got honey spilt on my earpiece. wiping off just pushed it in further but the slots are so small you can't see that. I found an ancient bottle of cassette head/LP cleaner, probably 35/40 years old. but it contained the right alcohol and it worked
Lmao.. it’s working. Amazing. At first I didn’t believe it to clean the speaker with a tooth brush because I believe my phone was clean.. after contacting apple service tech, my problem still persist and suddenly I try clean my speaker with a toothbrush and it works! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
yo I was at work and wanted to clear my earpiece because I used only a toothbrush yesterday to try and clean it which made it completely unusable (clogged it even more) so I added a few drops of water and sucked the earpiece while the sound is on, and voila it worked but still has a crackle (the reason I wanted to clean the earpiece) but less than before. Thank you!
YUP!!!! %100 fixed my issue...thank you. I recently called my cell provider about a phone upgrade due to low and muffled call volumes.
Worked on my iPhone XR for the ear speaker and bottom speakers
I tested it on my muffled iPhone 12… The difference is, with no chance, enormous. Thank Lord I found this video!
Had this problem went to Apple Store they ran tests took the phone out back cleaned it came back and told me I needed new screen $450 .
Wasn’t going to pay that , went home found this video and in 5 mins had my problem fixed .
Thank you 🙏
They’re geniuses… at fleecing money out of people.
Bro... you just save me 60 eur :) According to local phone repair technician some sound part must be changed in my iphone... well, not anymore thanks to you :). Thumbs up
Wow, So I tried it once, made a call, and it did not work. I tried it a second time, made the same call, and it worked! Thanks! 😃
THANK YOU very much! My iPhone 12 is now sounding great again!!
This man is a hero! I wish I had found this video before all the trouble shooting! Who knew it was just that dirty? 😂 I feel ashamed but at least I can make phone calls again without being on speaker phone!
Wow. I thought I had to get a new phone, which requires a second mortgage nowadays. This really worked. I wrung a drop of ipa from a screen cleaner pad and used a tooth brush with 165hz, and just like new now
I was about to order a replacement ear speaker but thanks to this video i got it fixed. I used the "Tone Gen" app to generate 165hz sound and also bumped it to 200hz at the end. thanks again!
You’re welcome
As others, that watched this video searching for a solution for muffled earspeaker, I gave it a try and it works! I’d never say that buzzing muffled sound could be repaired by cleaning the mesh. And usage of 165Hz frequency to help with the cleaning is genius👍 Thank you! I thought I’d have to change the speaker
how you make this sound comes out of your upper speaker?
Iphone standard is Stereo - so will play the sound at the bottom
and top automatically- you may think it’s not working when the upper speaker/ear piece is clogged too much
Thank you. This helped clear out my iphone 13’s ear speaker.
thank you so much! my earpiece and speaker almost had no sound in them anymore, i followed your instructions and worked as a charm, i been asked a lot of money at the repair shop to change the earpiece and speaker and i cant believe this video actually helped me
this guy is amazing I followed his steps on how to clean the ear speaker and I can hear everything loud and clear!
This...this...this worked brilliantly! INCREDIBLE RESULT OMG. Thank you for sharing this! Also worked like a charm for the bottom speaker!
unbelievable it actually worked thank you so much!!! bless your soul man!!
I was about to buy a new ear speaker, then got dejected when I saw that the Face ID wouldn’t work if I swapped it. I’ll be honest I didn’t think this would work but wow worked a treat. Thanks
I’m glad this helped. We get asked a lot to replace ear speakers but in fact all it needs is this
Amazing. Thank you so much!!! If anyone like me is wondering where the hell to find alcohol- check any nail products you have! My prep wipe is literally the same thing!
Thank you for this!!! 😊
Worked for me, opted used an alcohol dipped Q-tip to clean mine instead. Required a little scrubbing but eventually worked.
Thx for the tip. 👍🏻
Hi. What is this liquid called again?
Bro!!! Thanks to you it feels I have a new phone !!!!! It actually works with the 165hz video and alcohol and brush . Omg
Worked for me today. I had already fixed up appointment with Apple Store for replacement of my mobile earpiece. Thanks a lot dude. Saved me money and trouble. Super video. Done. Made my day. ❤
Hola, dejo este comentario para la gente de habla hispana. Ha sido todo un descubrimiento. En mi caso, he utilizado alcohol de 96 grados sin saber muy bien la diferencia con el isopropilico que se utiliza en electrónica (mejor usar el ispropilico). Ha funcionado a la perfección, en cosa de dos pasadas de alcohol y un cepillo viejo, ha vuelto a la vida en un iPhone 11👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Works to a good extent.its not as good as it was when new but its perfectly usable for any situation
I’m glad it helped
Thanks...when nothing else worked, your tutorial was super helpful and solved this year long problem
Fixed mine, 2 minutes with a qtip 165 hz tone, alcohol and a bit of a scrub with a toothbrush. It does take a minute before you notice a change
Telefonun sesi ilk günkü haline döndü resmen! Teşekkürler..
Sounds just like the first day now! Awesome! thank you bro
You’re welcome
Thank you very much! My iPhone X had some dense liquid poured on the ear speaker and it was almost completetly muffled. I followed the video and it worked! It’s been sooooo satisfying!!! Thanks!
Holy crap, worked great! iPhone Xs, Q-tips and isopropyl alcohol, amazing!
Even after a factory reset, my cousin's iPhone 11 ear speaker refused to work. I found your video on UA-cam within a few minutes of searching. To my surprise this simple method fixed the problem. Amazing 👏
Glad I could help
Brilliant. Cost me £7 for a massive bottle of rubbing alcohol from Boots, but it’s completely fixed the issue. I couldn’t hear people on the phone so shelled out for AirPods Pro, but had I found this sooner, it would have saved me ££s - iPhone 12 Pro now fixed and ready to pass to my daughter
That’s good news 👊
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I tried everything else and then just came across your video and it worked like a charm. Simply the best!!!!!
Glad it helped!
Mate, brilliant vid. My XR was driving me nuts with the low earpiece volume. Just got some isopropyl of Amazon and carried out this procedure. 100% improvement. Thanks.
I JUST DID IT AMD IT WORKS INSTANTLY!!!!
OH MY GOD!! Thank you. I was thinking I had to go buy a new phone but this worked. I can hear again 😀
Thank you very much. Completely fixed my earpiece
i used 265 hz
worked! now i'm back on 20% volume - before i was at 100% and a lot of distortion
I never leave comments or reviews BUT… this worked like a DREAM!!! Saved me so much time and money!
This is just awesome! Tried it on my Iphone 11 Pro Max and it sounds just like the first day now!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this tutorial! That's exactly what I needed to do for my iPhone 13 Pro earpiece. Used a q tip lightly soaked in alcohol to scrub the screen clean while the sound was playing. Thumbs up!
You’re welcome. I’m glad it helped
THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOU SO MUCH. I FIXED MY IPHONE WATHING YOU VIDEO TUTORIAL: THANK you
wow this actually worked! i thought i needed a speaker but its back to normal now! lol thank you good sir! 💯🔥
I was already defeated, but tried this because "who knows" and it worked like a charm on a 12 pro max (using a Q-tip). Thanks mate 🔥
One of the best videos for muted ear speakers solution on UA-cam❤ Thank you ❤
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
You sir are a life saver, I had already started to look for a new phone! Toothbrush and nail polish (i was desperate) worked perfect!
I’m glad it worked for you
TRIED THIS AND WORKS A TREAT IN SECONDS, MANY THANKS.
This works perfectly. I thought was going to have to spend $40 to $100 to fix this. Thank you guys so much.
I’m so happy I came across this video, it worked! I wish I would’ve recorded a before and after video
You sir, are a life saver (or phone saver anyhow) .. I could barely hear phone calls and was looking for solutions like this. I didnt have any isopropyl handy but I substituted with Methylated spirits due to its similar cleaning properties and rapid evaporation and it worked like a charm.
Amazing. I thought my iPhone X was broken forever. This fixed it in 1 minute. Thank you
IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!
You’re BRILLIANT! 🤩🤩
THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Glad it helped!
Holy shit thank you so so much!! I accidentally got some ice cream on my phone and it melted unto my speakers. The audio started sounding crackly and I was so close to buying a new phone. This video solved my issue and I won’t need to buy a whole new phone. you just saved me hundreds of dollars!!!
