Humming in one ear after AirPod pro use

I have been using many headphone types including other noise cancelling and never had any ear issues before. Have been using AirPod Pros for three weeks now almost everyday. I have started experiencing constant faint humming in my left ear. I wonder if AirPod pros caused this. It is more obvious in silence. My use is mostly for conference calls, some you tube and little occasional music. Usage volume is not that loud. Wondering if it is due to the noise cancelling frequencies.

Any one else with these issues?

Try a full re-pair, reset, and try again.

Start with Unpairing/"Forgetting" the Device:

Settings > Bluetooth > Airpods > Forget this device. Confirm it.

Put both Airpods in their case, charge them via Lightning for a few minutes (or preferably until the case is 100%). Unplug them. Open the case and hold the button on the back of the case for 15+ seconds or until the light flashes white. Hold them near your iPhone and see if the pairing screen comes up and pair them. If not, repeat until it does. But if you can't see the screen pop up, then manually pair within Bluetooth.

If it doesn't work, open a case with Apple Support here: https://support.apple.com/airpods

Also please let me know the Firmware Version if it doesn't work:

Settings > General > About > AirPods > Firmware Version
