Siri not working after iOS 8

Is anyone having issues with Siri after updating to iOS 8?

Updated to iOS 8. Found Siri was not able to hear me. Thought maybe I had a hardware issue - Tested Speaker Phone, Voice Control, Voice Memo, FaceTime ... all work with microphone.

Siri will work if I have an Apple Headset/Microphone plugged in. Done a Restore, no luck. Did a hard reset, no luck. Appears Siri cannot attach to the Microphone. Checked all settings, disabled Siri, rebooted and re-enabled Siri. Read older articles about people disabling Bluetooth, did this as well no luck. Believe I covered everything possible. Appears to be an iOS 8 bug.

iPhone 5, iOS 8

wow. I just had a terrible experience trying to get this 'fixed' at the Nashua apple store. They wouldn't budge, even after I explained that this is Apple's SOFTWARE problem, my hardware works properly. I pointed to the various forums, pleaded my case.. but the only way to resolve it, according to the manager (McPhee) is for me to give them $250 for a refurbished iPhone. The guy actually stood up, went around the bar, got in my face and said "I will not help you"
