Iphone muffled sound?

Whenever i plug in my earbuds my iPhone 8's sound is muffled. I've tried cleaning inside and tried new earbuds but nothing is working. Any suggestions before i take it in to get it looked at?

I don't know i get a new one

Try cleaning the port. Gently blow into it. Get something non metal, like plastic Degrassi pic, and see if you can GENTLY click or any compacted dust. If you have one of those very gentle ear vacs - meant to get water or of swimmers' ears - give it a try. Or in set a tiny straw and see if you can gently suck out dust. If you have a very time and soft brush, try that. I have been going this for years to our phones - amazing what sometimes comes out.b otherwise - needs the shop.

  • My IPhone back face microphone is muffled? So I was recording a YouTube video y'know and after recording 3 minutes of footage, I checked it and noticed that my voice is muffled. At first, I thought it was my app acting up so I decided to record with the regular Camera app and realized that it's my microphone that is the the problem. My front face microphone is working fine but the back face one is a different story. How do I fix this? This is an IPhone 7 by the way with IOS 11.2.2.
