The microphone on my iPod Touch 5 just stopped working out of nowhere, is there any possible solutions?

I have tried restarting it and turning it off and back on, but the microphone continues not to work! I cannot use Siri or voice to text now and it is really annoying, is there anything I can do to fix it?

iPod touch, iOS 6.0.1

Make sure the mic hole on the backup side of the iPod by the camera lens is clear and unobstructed.

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
