MIC not working with siri/voice to text after ios9.3.1 update

After I updated to 9.3.1 my hey siri stopped working in that it no longer hears my commands and voice to text will not pick up any sound either. I know there is no problems with my microphone working because I can still be heard on phone calls and when I disable siri am still able to use the basic voice controls that were pre-siri. I have already tried disabling siri and reactivating it (and reactivating the hey siri as well, although I cant set it up since it cant hear me), changing her accent, switching the voice from male to female, restarting the phone, updating restrictions. And frankly I'm at a loss here, I cant think of any other possible fixes. Has anyone else run into this and if so were there any resolutions? Please help!

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.1

I have been using the “hey Siri” feature since it was introduced to my iSE. It has always worked, including my FaceTime (front and rear), voice memo, speaker phone and dictating. i just updated my iOS phones and iPad minis to the new iOS 11.0.2 yest and today. Now, all other services are still working except “hey Siri“. I tried turning the feature off and back on but now I can’t set it up! On my iSE, it will hear me say hey Siri the first time during setup and no more after that. I have tried force restart to no prevai! Again, all other features work fine with all 3 mics. This is definitely not just a hardware issue but rather an update or “software” issue.
