I have noticed the volume decrease issue for a few weeks now. It periodically 
happens when listening to podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. The simplest way I 
have found to get the volume back up is to pause the audio with a 2-finger 
double tap, press either volume button once, and restart the audio.

Have you tried turning voiceover off and then back on again? You can just tell 
siri  to turn off voiceover then wait a minute or so then tell siri to turn it 
back on again. Also try turning off the phone and turning it back on again.

I think I saw that someone else was also experiencing this problem. Every now 
and then the speech suddenly softens and I need to turn up the volume. Then, 
without any apparent reason, the volume returns and I need to turn it down. It 
isn’t just Voiceover as I am using Duo Lingo and even the speech on that app 
softens.
