AirPods Pro hurt my ears when on noise cancelling

I just brought the AirPods Pro, since I started using them I noticed that I get a headache when using them, I tried switching between the different modes and the one that hurts the most is the main noise cancellation, I feel pressure in my ears and get nauseated. I tried changing the sizes of the silicon buds but nothing change. How can I fix this?

Thanks!

AirPods Max Noise Cancellation Hurting my Ears just minutes after putting them on (These are Brand New AirPods Max’s) I just got these for my birthday and they are starting to hurt my ears just a few minutes after wearing them with noise cancellation on. Ive tried taking them off for a bit and then putting them back on a few minutes later to give my ears a break, but nothing has worked so far. Anyone have any tips to help with this?

High Pitched frequency when using Airpods 1st gen I have been using my AirPods for quite some time. For some reason when I initiate calls using them there tends to be a very high pitched sound that comes from them. It is so bad I immediately have to remove the AirPods from my ears. This is BAD! Even when I take them out of my ears the call will continue, but it distorts the call. And the sound will come from the phone there after forcing me to terminate the call. It is not a connectivity issue, there is something wrong with these... I have read other reports of this and the apple response is to reset them... No that does not work. My ears ache after this happens and it is ONLY when I dial while using the AirPods. If my set is faulty, okay apple I feel should replace them... Please do not respond Apple telling me to reset...
