I have pushed very hard a a needle in the top microphone hole

Hello.

I wanted to take out the sim card of my galaxy S8+

I made a mistake and i put a needle in the top microphone hole. (the one next to the sim card hole)

i pushed the needle very very very hard... until i see that it was a mistake.

Do you think this could cause damage to the microphone?

Thank you for your answer and sorry for my bad english.

Its not an easy one but recording a video with audio may show any problems. That top mic is also used for noise cancelling which isnt so easy to test

I did the same the first time I got it. Mine still works. Tested it using the Voice Recorder interview option which uses both microphones. Then I spoke at the top one and then at the bottom one in roughly the same dustance and loudness.
