I might have damaged my audio quality of my iphone at some level by using hot blowdryer on it because i was delusional about steam entering from hot shower.

I used a hot hairdryer for 1 minute on the speaker, microphone, and earpiece of my iPhone 14 Pro Max, fearing that steam from a hot shower might have entered. Although the loudness of the speaker is fine, I have noticed slight distortion or crackling in the audio, which i think is my delusion. I am uncertain about how to confirm if any actual damage has occurred. However, I suspect that I may have caused harm or melting to some internal components with the hot air, leading to audio quality degradation. I feel like a lunatic for doing such a dumb action and am now wondering how to determine if there is any real damage.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

You could get an appointment at an Apple Store for an evaluation of your phone.
