Why did your phone's speaker stop working?

The technology used by smartphones has consistently changed over time whether you talk about pop-up selfie camera or triple back camera. But every advantage has its own disadvantage.
In earlier days the speaker of the smartphones used to be at the back but now they are under it. The advantage is that you'll be able to listen to music or any other sound from your phone without any disturbances even when it is kept at a surface, which was not possible with older technology smartphones.
But, it has a disadvantage that it doesn't have strong protection over the speaker as previously launched phones used to have. Previously when phones used to have speaker at the back they had a porous covering over the speaker which filtered, amplified the sound as well as protected the speaker.
It is possible that while your phone was kept somewhere particles such as dust may have entered the speaker holes or you may have touched the phone near the speaker with dirty hands resulting to speaker holes getting choked.
