Hi guys, I have a problem with my iPhone X, maybe you can help!

The earpiece was starting to crackle a bit on my phone, especially while watching videos and such. Since it was also looking pretty dirty, I tried cleaning it by using a toothbrush and by blowing on it a bit (I did not use compressed air).

Unfortunately the situation was massively worsened by this. The volume is now SO LOW, I cannot follow a conversation on the phone even in very quiet environments.
Did such a thing ever happen to you? I think Apple would only replace it since the back glass is shattered, but I really do not want to sink 500 USD to have a new-but-2-year-old phone.

Please, do chime in if you think you can help or had such a problem yourselves!
