Ear speaker cleaner
Do callers say you sound muffled or far away? The earpiece grille at the top of your phone clogs with dust and lint. This tuned tone shakes it loose so your calls are clear again.
Max your volume, then press start. Place the speaker facing down.
How to clean your ear speaker
- Remove the case and find the earpiece slot at the top of the screen.
- Turn volume up and press Start on the Ear Speaker program.
- Hold the top of the phone down so debris falls out.
- Brush the grille gently with a soft, dry toothbrush.
- Lift residue with low-tack tape, then test on a call.
What NOT to do
- Don't poke the earpiece mesh with pins or needles.
- Don't use water or cleaning liquids on the grille.
- Don't blow compressed air directly in — it drives debris deeper.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my ear speaker?
The ear speaker (earpiece) is the small speaker you hold to your ear on calls. Play the Ear Speaker tone (500–1,200 Hz) with the earpiece facing down, then gently brush the grille with a soft, dry brush. This clears the debris that makes callers sound muffled.
Why do callers sound muffled or far away?
Dust, lint and makeup build up on the earpiece mesh at the top of your phone, dampening call audio. Cleaning that grille with sound and a soft brush usually restores clear calls.
What frequency cleans the ear speaker?
Mid frequencies around 500–1,200 Hz work best for the small earpiece driver. ECHO's Ear Speaker program cycles through them automatically.
