Is it possible to repair the microphone?

Is it possible to repair the microphone? The microphone on my phone isn't working properly. I have to use the speakerphone mode so callers can hear me talking. When I try to record a video the audio just makes a static sound. I read the teardown and saw that this phone got a 1/10 for repairability, so can I replace my microphone my self or should I send it in to a professional for repairs?

The mic on my HTC one stop working mid conversation. Took it in my locall Vodafone shop and a member of staff there stuck a paper staple into the mic hole on the bottom of the phone and wiggled it about, he said it might be blocked. After a couple of attempts all seams to be back to normal. Then by the time I got home it had stopped working again. Checked on youtube found to video about mic faults and the first video said put some tape over the mic on the back of the phone to the right and above the camera lens. Tried this and all seems good now. But if you record a video the audio is very quiet.

if you can get the mic to work and you're done putting it on speaker. You have to be willing to open up your phone and replace the charging port connector. The usb port and mic are one piece. I don't know no why nobody advertises it like that.

"Got this problem today googled and found this question and comments, brush didnt work but my vacuumcleaner - with a small but standard nozzle attached, did the trick, cam mic as well as phone mic works fine again (HTC One with hdr mic)

I gently wiggled around with a so-called interdental brush and it did the trick as well.
