I really doubt that has much to do with it, as I always, like you due to
hearing loss have my 4S turned up as loud as it'll go, and have had mine for
almost a year now, and haven't even come close to breaking the speaker.
Thank you kindly,

Subject: Re: iPhone Speaker not working.
Hi Esther.
I have just tried this to no avail.
I've ordered another iPhone.
Should get it during next week, and I think I'm going to try lowering the
volume of VoiceOver to try and eliminate any problems with the speaker, as
I think the main reason why it went in the first place was because I've
always had my VoiceOver on full volume, especially in busy areas due to my
hearing loss.
So I am assuming that the constant heavy vibrations has caused the speaker
to finally give up.
So will be using headphones for the next few days until I get my new
iPhone! I can't wait!
Thanks for the advice though everyone!
Regards.
Lewis.

Hi Lewis,
Another possibility to try before deciding whether you need a
replacement: I believe that Geoff Waaler had an instance where his iPhone
3GS would not play through the speaker, and after doing some research on
the web, he determined that sometimes dust lodging in the input jack area
can fool the speaker switch into behaving as though headphones were
connected. He was able to get the speaker action back by by quickly
inserting and pulling out the jack end of the earbuds or headphones
several times in succession. He did this several times in succession,
fairly fast, and pushing all the way in, as though he were trying to
ream out the region where the plug connects. This apparently dislodged
whatever dust particle was triggering the iPhone to behave as though
headphones were plugged in, and allowed the sound to get routed back to
the speakers.
Normally, I suggest doing a hard reset, where you hold down both the home
button at the bottom and the sleep/wake button along the top edge
simultaneously, and keep holding them down until the iPhone completely
powers off, then power it on again. However, you've already tried this,
so I'll make the suggestion about trying to dislodge any dust that may be
in the region where the headphones plug in. If Geoff reads your post he
may be able to give other suggestions.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi lewis it sounds like the same thing that happened to mine. It may
mean you need a replacement phone and the apple store might be your only
option unless anyone else has a better idea.
