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!

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!
I've used KZread 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 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 ❤
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!!
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!!
I tested it on my muffled iPhone 12… The difference is, with no chance, enormous. Thank Lord I found this video!
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! =)
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?
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!
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
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 👍
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!!! 🎉❤😅😂
Worked first time, was about to put it in the repair shop , quoted £45 for speaker replacement . Got to love KZread and the guys who help us daily . Thank you

Thank you so much! Never thought about vibrations along with this sort of cleaning. It did wonders!
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!
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 😊❤
The earspeaker on my iPhone 12 was sounding distorted at high volumes. This procedure fixed it. Thank you!
Just tried this and it works a treat…. My speaker isn’t 100% but it’s night and day to what it was…. Brilliant 👍
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!
literally got the job done in 5 minutes. Thank you this is awesome. Subscribed.
Thanks...when nothing else worked, your tutorial was super helpful and solved this year long problem
Thank you SO MUCH! This is THE ONLY video that wasn't like all the others and actually FIXED my problem! I was ready to go buy a new phone until I came across this video! You saved me a lot of money! Thank you again!
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.

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.

How did you put the alcohol on the speaker?
Thanks mate. The alcohol along with the 165Hz KZread video worked perfectly!!! Cheers!
THANK YOU very much! My iPhone 12 is now sounding great again!!
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. ❤
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 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!!!
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!
Thank you so much , the change is inconceivable my speakers are now good as new ❤❤
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.
wow worked like a charm just saved me from spending serious money on getting it repaired thanks so much
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.
This works perfectly. I thought was going to have to spend $40 to $100 to fix this. Thank you guys so much.
Thank you!!!! This worked really good on my iPhone 12!!!!
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!

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.

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.
TRIED THIS AND WORKS A TREAT IN SECONDS, MANY THANKS.
Bro!!! Thanks to you it feels I have a new phone !!!!! It actually works with the 165hz video and alcohol and brush . Omg
I never leave comments or reviews BUT… this worked like a DREAM!!! Saved me so much time and money!
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!
Thanks, I might use the same method on my speakers
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.
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 !!
Thanks so much! Just watched your video and cleaned my phone. Almost thought I'd have to get a new phone.
Thank you for making this video 🙏🏽
Omg you are a life saver! I didn’t want to pay for repair or get a new one so I tried this and it’s sound is perfectly clear and loud 👏 🥰
OMGGGGG!!! I can finally hear!!! This is amazing! Thank you!!!!
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!

Thank you. This helped clear out my iphone 13’s ear speaker.
Literately been muffled for 2+ years! Thought I would have to replace the entire speaker. Love the Video!!
Thank you so much it worked for my s10e 🔥👍
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 🔥
Thank you so much this worked perfectly
This genuinely works Thanks)))
Thank you so much, your video was so helpful the ear speaker is now as new with great sound.

Hi. What is this liquid called again?
Thank you bless you and thanks I just needed to clean my speaker
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
Thank's for the tip, worked instantly!
outstanding solution, thank you so much, worked wonderfully and now can hear calllers.
