This is a straightforward issue which is by far the most common. The iOS software has a built in function to turn the volume of a phone call up or down.

iPhone Ear Speaker Grill Dirty – How to Clean iPhone Ear Speaker Grill
It is possible that the grill which covers the ear piece has gotten clogged with dirt or mould. This is very common and is caused directly by everyday storage of our devices. Pockets, handbags, and even some phone cases cause the grill to collect fluff and grime. Our suggested fix is the get a pin or sim opening tool and gently scrape it along the grill. Be careful not to press too hard on the grill or to pierce it. Just move the pin along the surface to scrape off any fluff or dirt. This will hopefully solve the issue if dirt related.
iPhone Water Damage
Our final suggestion for what could be causing this issue is simple, your phone has taken water damage through the grill and permanently damaged the ear piece. In this scenario the only real solution is to get the ear piece replaced at a repair shop. Any reputable phone shop will also clean any dirt or fluff off of the grill too.
