A simple ear bud should do the trick. Generally we use pinch of alcohol to clean it, but for me dry ear buds have always worked.
If you wanna spend some bucks on it, then check this out :

Hi,
How is it possible to force all sounds to go the headphone jack and not to the speaker ?
I would like to be certain that the music I am playing on my Windows Mobile phone is going through the headphone.
Why? because sometimes I accidentally remove the headphone jack from the phone and the music is then going loudly out of the speaker of the phone !! very annoying !
Chris
Take the phone apart, check by the headphone socket for how it detects a jack is inserted. On my old iPaq the jack moved a tab inside it breaking the circuit to the rear speaker. If memory serves, the speaker wasn't soldered in, it fitted a socket, pretty sure one of my older phones was like that too.
Of course it'd make your device useless as a phone without a working speaker, and you could end up destroying your phone completely.
Try looping a rubber band around your phone and the headphone jack to keep it in place, or just be more careful, or get bluetooth headphones
I don't want to physically remove the speaker of my phone. I find the speaker very useful when talking at home talking to people.
The problem is that I don't want the speaker to be used when I am listening music on the phone.
So the solution would have to be a software one.

bluetooth headset or rubber band are your best bets then.

What do you mean by bluetooth headset ? If I put my mobile phone in bluetooth headset, would it solve the problem ?

Ye it will cause you cant accidentally pull it out cause it doesnt use the jack, but negativ is that it drains battery and i think its much, and if the battery on the bluetooth headset dies i think that it stil will think its on so it doesnt use the speaker, so thats the best solution, i dont think people here can make a hack for that cause i think its to advance, hasnt been a issue before and even if no one has made a hack. so i think its the best and maybe only solution. sorry my english hope it helpt
edit: hope you know that you need to use a bluetooth headset, and you cant just make the choice on the phone without use a real headset
So I will look with a bluetooth headset. True it drains more battery and this kind of headset needs to be power charged (so easy to forget )

I listen using headphones a lot . Yesterday, I couldn't keep my headphone to stay in the headphone jack. It keeps on popping a few millimetre up. There is no "snap" sound when you fully inserted it , and it happends to other headphones too. There is no lint/dust inside. Please help...

try showing it to sony repair center..
Try with another jack if it's the connection on the phone side loose.
Recently, My phone was exposed to a LOT of dust while I was driving, and the sennheiser earphones stopped working.
After I returned home, I cleaned my earphone jack with cotton swab and running water, and my earphones too with running water and did a factory reset, so I don't think it's a software issue
But every time I connect my earphones to my phone, The output is from my speaker ;-;
Here's whats funny.
Other earphones work with my phone
These sennheiser earphones works with other devices and when plugged half way in my phone , they also work temporarily when they are wet ...
So ... do I have a phone problem or an earphone problem
Any help is appreciated
An earphone problem.
If other earphone works with your phone then it's your earphones that are ****ed.
The gold plating on the jack might be causing this issue.
I have a 2yr old samsung galaxy s3 workin on stock jb rom and boeffla kernel, recently whenever I plug my headphone the sound is very distorted, cannot hear the vocals and music is kinda flat with weird noises or sometimes very low sound from only one side . Tried different headsets but its the same. Googled n noted similar problems for many and the solution is to replace the headphone jack or motherboard or may be hit the back of phone lol...also tried tightening the screw near the jack but it dint work... I've been playin ppsspp games on it and kinda overclockin it to 1.6ghz. Sometimes during streaming while charging, it shows battery too hot please remove charger. So assumed that due to overheat the headphone jack might have expanded(lol) and the headphone knobs are not making good contact or are damaged.
Based on this hypothesis inserted an aluminium foil folded half way into the jack and then inserted the headphone and now its workin fine . It took many tries to get the aluminium foil in the right place but it did work....posting this in hope that it helps someone.
I have been using my xperia c for over a year, I bought a skull candy s2dufz-385 and they were awesome for a week. Then the left speaker died, when I checked the reviews everyone had the same problem so I purchased a better headphone, sennheiser cx 180 they were awesome for a month, but after that one speaker (right) died, (I.e.) volume decreased
This might be a wired question to ask, since always one speaker of headphone dies, is itpossible that the problem might ne with my xperia??? Or am unfortunate enough that I always get khatara product??????
Am losing so many headphones please help
*update : or is it because I use my headphones while charging????

I have used Sony headphones and nothing like this happened, currently I am using Beats Studio Wireless (with and without wire) but nothing like this has happened. I guess you are not handling your headphones properly.
