About Fix My Speaker

Fix My Speaker was established to provide smartphone, wearable, and audio device owners with an open-access, browser-native acoustic maintenance tool based on sound-wave physics.

Our Mission

Every year, millions of electronic devices are prematurely discarded or sent for expensive repairs due to muffled speakers following accidental liquid exposure or fine dust ingress. Our goal is to offer a transparent, zero-cost, privacy-first diagnostic and cleaning utility that anyone can access in seconds.

Acoustic Testing Methodology

Our tone sequences were not chosen at random. Micro-speakers found in contemporary smartphones feature an internal resonance envelope between 160 Hz and 175 Hz. We bench-tested various waveforms using calibrated decibel (dB SPL) and frequency response equipment:
