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 was definitely skeptical at first. But after not being able to hear for almost a year I decided to try to clean it. Did some searches and finally decided I would try this method. I was pretty surprised to see how well it worked. No more speaker phone for every call i get and my music is much louder now. Appreciate the vid and tips! Thanks man. (if anyone tries this, remember 91% isopropyl alcohol) a little goes a long way. Follow the instructions and be careful 👍

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!!! 🎉❤😅😂

    It’s not recommended to used any other liquid as they evaporate really slowly, and can flood the speaker. You can use regular tape, gently press the tape against the ear speaker grill with a tooth pick, or your nail (gently). Then slowly remove the tape. You can repeat this process a couple of times before finishing with the toothbrush.
