Troubleshooting iPhone Microphone:

Flip the Silent Switch:

The iPhone silent switch allows you to quickly silence your device by flipping the switch located on the side of the phone. When the switch is flipped toward the back, the phone enters Silent mode, and when flipped toward the front, it turns the sound back on.

A Few Links that May Help:

If you Hear No Sound or Distorted Sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch Speaker - Apple Support

If the Microphones on your iPhone aren't Working - Apple Support

Adjust the Volume on iPhone - Apple Support

Volume Output: If you Can't Hear a Person on a Call or Voicemail or if the Sound isn't Clear on your iPhone

Volume Input: if your Microphone isn’t Working or People Can’t Hear you While you’re on a Call
