Ever shouted “Hello, hello!” into your phone, but the other person still can’t hear you? Here’s why it happens and how to fix it.
1. Microphone Malfunction is Common
- Phone microphones can stop working properly over time.
- Everyday wear and tear, drops, or exposure to moisture can reduce performance.
2. Dust and Sweat Build-Up
- Traveling by bus, auto, or bike exposes your phone to dust, dirt, and sweat.
- These particles can clog the microphone, making your voice faint or muffled.
3. Check Your phone Case
- Some bulky or poorly designed cases can cover the microphone hole.
- Make sure the mic opening is clear and unobstructed.
4. Test Your Microphone
- Record a voice memo or video and check playback.
- If it sounds low or distorted, your mic may need cleaning or repair.
5. Cleaning Tips (Safely!)
- Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust.
- Avoid liquids or sharp objects—they can damage the mic permanently.
6. Other Possible Issues
- Software glitches: Restart your phone or check for updates.
- App permissions: Ensure your calling app has microphone access.
- Hardware damage: If none of the above works, a repair or replacement may be needed.
✅ Bottom Line: If people can’t hear you on calls, it’s often a simple issue like dust, sweat, or blocked mic holes. Regular cleaning and checking your settings can save a lot of frustration.
