Hi there!
If the audio quality is distorted on your end during calls, these steps and more from If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working can resolve this issue:
Clear the microphones
1. Remove any screen protectors, films, or cases from your iPhone.
2. Clear any debris from the openings of your iPhone.
If this continues after looking over that article, then the next thing we would recommend is testing to see if this issue occurs in multiple apps to see if this is isolated to the hardware of your iPhone. Test the microphone in the Voice Memos or Camera app to see if the audio quality is any different. If the audio is distorted with multiple apps and services, contact Apple Support to discuss service options.
Cheers!
