Accidentally poked my microphone with sim ejector

[Areeba Ali]

Hey! So I accidentally poked the lower microphone of my samsung s21 fe with sim ejector tool as I was trying to put my sim inside the sim tray. I've been very worried since then if I have damaged my microphone or maybe the waterproof layer or any other technical stuff that's found there. If anyone with similar experience has some insight on this please respond 😣🥺

No won't have damaged anything
The microphone is actually offset inside. So it cannot be damaged like this.
Your phone will be perfectly fine

I did the same when I had the s21 ultra, it won't reach the mic or affect the microphone.

@Members_MlAlxkX: You should be fine, however if you're concerned then I recommend heading to the Samsung Members app > Press and hold on the app icon > Diagnostics > Phone diagnostics > Mic, and follow the on-screen prompts. Can you hear yourself clearly during the playback ?

I've just done this with my new Samsung A53, the mic seems to work perfectly, but I'm worried about the waterproof layer, I dont know if it's possible to get to it
