Perhaps it's the way you are holding it where when it's by hour left ear your grasp of the phone overs the microphone?
You must be blocking the mic. Try again & just hold the phone by the sides.
Failing that you might be deaf in one ear & haven't realised.

Just avoid holding it in that way.
Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its microphone performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the microphones.
What's this all about?You should get together with Nashville_Tods. He's got a weird problem too
My mother does this to me constantly when I call her. I've resolved it to being the way she grips and articulates her phone to her head. No matter what phone it is the audio will muffle randomly as she focuses on doing other things. I've presented demonstrations to her of this but she still persists in doing it. I think what is happening here is the same thing, you are articulating the phone into your face and/or gripping it in a way that causes issues for the caller.
Found out when I would talk laying down in bed with the phone upside down, it would often cut out the speakerphone for whatever reason. Eventually found out I was putting my pinky on the mic spots on the bottom of the phone and that's what was doing it. Took 6+ months to figure that out on my end and only happened with my right hand. lol.
