IOS Update t/ 6.0.1 crashed phone sound?!?!?!

Ok so I had been putting off updating my phone for a bit. But this afternoon I updated to iOS 6.0.1 on a Verizon iPhone 4. It starts back up and everything is great. Until I get a phone call. My upper speaker used for the PHONE portion of the iPHONE no longer works. I have read several forums where Apple Geniuses simply said that the speaker had failed and it needed to be replaced. I refuse to take this kind of cutrate BS service. I got off the phone immediately before I updated and it was working fine. I also have a coworker who had the same problem. So is there anything else I can try to fix besides restore and hard reboot? Hopefully it is something simple that I have overlooked or missed. I would rather feel like an idiot on a free fix than like a rape victim lol because Apple chose to sell a product with inferior quality internals that arent upgradable and want to pass the savings right on along to all of us. Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Adding my voice and expanding the conversation a bit.
I have an iPhone 4S, model MC923LL with 32GB storage.  I was experiencing very fast battery draining, so I updated the OS to 6.0.1 (10A523).
Here are the symptoms I am experiencing:
Frequent application crashes
Messaging
Settings
Facebook
Camera
Navigation applications
Games
Delay in responding to inputWhile messaging, I type, see the keys highlight, but it takes a few moments to see the text in the box
Physical Heat
The phone is often HOT.
I address this by shutting down applications that have remained resident (double click the home button, then press and hold on an application to make it wiggle, then delete it)
All of this; the symptoms described by John and those I experience seem clearly linked to the upgrade. 
I am going to back up my phone, copy my photos and then do restore to see if this addresses the issue.
