Outgoing ringer volume too loud

Same issue with iPhone 13 Pro, wired EarPods. After upgrading to IOS 16 my ears are getting destroyed by the excruciatingly loud outgoing call ring sound. Since this issue started happening, I can also detect that music tends to break up a bit at parts… maybe it’s both an ear and EarPod destroyer.

I'm having this persistent issue as well, went to the Genius Bar to try and fix it but no luck. When I make an outgoing call, with or without headphones, I can't adjust the volume of the outgoing ringer -- it is stuck at max volume and painful to hold the phone by my ear, or keep headphones in while the outgoing ringer keeps ringing.

Apparently no one is able to fix this, have never had this issue with other iPhones before.

Has anyone confirmed if this is fixed in 16.1? I'm oddly more surprised that everyone I know isn't complaining about this. It's just so LOUD. I keep my volume all the way down, so maybe that's why I notice it more than others. Burns my ears.

I've found that when you start a phone call using wireless buds, if you quickly toggle from the buds to any other choice for the speaker and then back to the buds, you can control the outgoing ringer volume. This is the only consistent fix apparently. I doubt Apple will resolve this until iOS 17, bugs like this often remain and their devs don't pay attention to these boards.

I didn’t use headphone but can you guys try this

Try to play with setting here…

It could be a system problem, You just have to wait for 16.1(you can join beta now but its not recommended) or try to talk to tech support It may be another problem...

Same for me. Hearing loss loud in my headphones. No settings appear to change it. Incoming ringer volume is fine
