Is your iPhone microphone no longer picking up sound correctly? Are your callers complaining that your voice sounds muffled and choppy or that there is background static in your sound? Does the problem persist regardless of the location of the call? It could mean that your iPhone microphone is malfunctioning.
Or if Siri is misinterpreting your voice commands irrespective of how slowly you are speaking. Perhaps the sound quality in your video recording is poor. Don’t be worried: bring it to Good Zone Repairs and we will find out whether the microphone, its opening or the sound chip on the board is at fault (see iPhone audio IC repair).

Use the Voice Memos app on your iPhone or iPad to test the microphone. Speak into the microphone by launching the Voice Memos app or asking Siri to do it for you. After that, play the recording and listen. Your voice should come through loud and clear. If the sound quality is poor, you may need an iPhone mic repair.
Here are a few things that you can do while awaiting iPhone Microphone repairs:
Try using a clean toothbrush with extremely mild bristles. Brush the microphone hole in a circular motion to clear any obstructions. If you do not have a spare toothbrush, you should use a small clean paintbrush instead.
