Low volume on incoming calls when only using non-speaker mode. Using a speaker for a call volume is fine. All other audio sound applications appear to work fine. This issue renders to iPhone useless as a phone unless you want to broadcast your calls to those in your proximity.
iPhone 12
Volume is up full but very low audio regardless of closeness to the ear. To hear anything you need to be in a quiet environment and the phone close to the ear to hear anything. Switch to speaker mode amd you get blasted away with the caller.

I do not believe this is hardware-related as other audio/sound features work fine. This problem only started surfacing with recent iOS updates
When on a call, pull the iPhone away from your ear. Then try raising the volume using the volume buttons. See if that helps.
Ok, have you tried restarting your iPhone?
Yes, more than once. Currently running iOS 17.3.1
Hmm, odd. I read up on the issue, it’s possible it could be hardware related. There is another thread similar to what you posted with users experiencing the same issue.
