Airpod automatic ear detection not responding

Airpod ear detection not responding even when the option is selected. I've tried disconnecting and connecting to my iphone several times without success. Is there a fix?

Hello sss1963,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand from the information you provided that your AirPods are not properly responding to Automatic Ear Detection as expected; I'd like to help.


You can see how to enable and disable Automatic Ear Detection here:


Adjust the settings of your AirPods


Specifically, in the section labeled "Turn Automatic Ear Detection on or off"


If you find that this is feature is already enabled, disable it for a few moments then enable it again to see if that helps.


Hope this helps.


Best Regards.
