Someone I know had the exact opposite problem. Their Bluetooth earphones
started sounding off from inside their backpack when their phone wasn't
on, playing music they would never play! Turned out someone in the next
cubicle from theirs had paired their device with my friend's earphones
without knowing it!

I have to share this story, in case any of you have the same trouble.
Twice in the last two weeks, I’ve had situation where my phone
suddenly has no sound output. It happened this morning and, until I
figured out the problem, I had totally forgotten a similar thing had
caused the problem two weeks ago, right as I had called for an Uber.
I was thinking that my 6S phone was giving up the ghost on me. At
least with today, I has some plug in earbuds and could successfully
hear with those, but unplugging them resulted in silence. After
several resets of the phone and plugging it back in, I was about to
resign myself to having to rely on earbuds for the rest of my phone’s
existence, when I noticed my Bluetooth earbuds on a nearby table.
Yes, it turns out that the night before I had forgotten to turn off
my Bluetooth earbuds. When my corded earbuds were plugged in, the
sounds worked fine, but as soon as I unplugged the cord, the sound was
going to the earbuds across the room. Phew. When I discovered this,
I recalled that two weeks ago, as I was waiting for the Uber and my
phone stopped speaking, I had later discovered that the bone
conduction headset in my backpack was getting turned on by something
pressing on the power button. Pretty scary when you cannot see the
screen and think the phone has flat out died! Hoping a few of your
can get a laugh with me about this and keep it in the back of your
head, should it ever happen to you.
