• At high humidity.

In the first case under consideration, no outcome of events can be used:

• Thus, the product you choose should be carefully and slowly lowered directly into the hole intended for the microphone.

ATTENTION! At this stage, it is very important to carry out each action with great care to avoid various internal injuries.

• Finally, it is recommended to double-check the functionality. If the results are unsatisfactory, it is advisable to repeat the above manipulations.
• If you have a special structure, which is a small vacuum cleaner, then it will be very useful for the intended purpose.

The next method requires analysis of the structure itself. In addition, this requires special knowledge and skills.
