Microphone not working on iPhone 7

When making phone calls I cannot hear the other person, and they can't hear me. My voice memos app won't let me record anything in order to test the microphone and speakers. If i take a video, there is no sound. I can get sound on previous videos though. Siri can't hear me. I took my phone to the genius bar a couple days ago, and they did a factory reset. It didn't fix the issue. He said he ran diagnostics, and only told me that I should buy a new battery. I just did apple chat, and was told I need to take it in for a hardware issues. Any other ideas? Is this going to cost me a replacement?

I had the same issue with my 7 Plus. I took it to the Apple store and they replaced my phone with a new one. My phone was well out of warranty, too. Apple has identified this microphone issue and is taking responsibility for it. As long as there isn’t blatant/significant damage to your phone (like a broken/cracked screen/serious water damage) Apple will pay the freight on either fixing your phone, or replacing it.
