Use the volume buttons on the left side of the phone

And keep in mind that there are different volume settings for headphones, speakerphone, Bluetooth, etc.

a lot of people seem to be having this problem, me included. it's not SUPER low... i mean, i can hear. but if i was in a noisy environment, i doubt i'd be able to hear it. and what stinks is that i don't have an apple store nearby so i'm trying to figure out what to do.

Did you try adjusting the volume with the buttons on the side of the phone while you were using the phone? Mine got very loud.

Earpiece plastic

Over in Apple discussions some users have resolved this issue by removing the plastic over the ear piece. Others continue to have problems.

sure did, it's cranked all the way up.

Yikes. Might be time to hit the Genius Bar, because mine got really loud. FWIW, I did read in another thread that someone went into the volume section of their settings and turned it all the way down, then back up and it corrected the issue. They figured it was some kinda software bug. Good luck!

yeah my earpiece volume is low too. A lot of people seem to be having the same problem. I am sure they can fix this with a software update though...kind of how they did with the macbook pro volume issue
