My left airpod fits, but is a bit strange...

Hiya!

So, recently somebody pointed out to me that I was wearing my AirPods in a very strange way. They come out of my ear, but instead of pointing down, I positioned them at almost a 90 degree angle.

I put them into their correct downwards facing postition, but the left side felt very uncomfortable! I played my music, and I could not hear anything through my left AirPod. All I could really feel was a small amount of bass vibration coming through, so it definitely wasn’t broken.

I am very confused, because everyone else with AirPods doesn’t have this issue, and I couldn’t find anything like this online. Also, my right ear is fine, and I find that the sound was actually enhanced when I moved it.

Is this the AirPods, or is it my ears? Is there a way to listen to them normally??
