Other than taking the phone apart, you could try carefully inserting and taking the headphone out a couple dozen times. Maybe use a friend's headphones, or best would be the official '4-pole' headset to plug in there. The 3.5mm 4-pole that goes into a BB would also do the trick for what you're trying to do.

Eventually this will cause problems no matter what. I'd call up the carrier and tell them what happened, they should replace no charge - probably with a refurb.
Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I did just as instructed and it worked out. It's exactly as you said. But it comes back once in a while, but does not stay for long as it did. Kind of like less than 3 seconds, then its gone. I have sound now and all is well. Thanks again. I guess I will have to carry a spare headset with me now just incase LOL
