How do I test my SE microphone?

Lately, folks have complained that they can't hear me speak when on a call with my SE (iOS 15.5). This happens with a normal call and also at times with Speaker selected. I used an air jet to blow out my microphone holes but that didn't help. Restarting doesn't either. I don't know where to start on fixing this. It's intermittent of course!

Iphone SE Microphone problems Hello everyone, I have a problem with my iphone SE (iOS 16.5 version). When I'm on a call or recording a voice memo, the microphone doesn't work and I can't hear anything. (Whether they call me or if I call) While if I record a video the audio is heard. I assume the recording works from different microphones. How can I check if it is a problem that can be solved by making some changes to the settings or if the problem is a hardware problem and therefore needs to be repaired? I've already tried turning off the noise cancellation and checking if the microphone is active from the settings, but it still doesn't work. Thank you all

iPhone microphone Hey guys, my iPhone microphone doesn’t seem to be working well, on calls others can’t hear my very well and whilst recording videos it just sounds really windy so I think that’s probably what they hear. Can anyone please help me how to fix it?
