Main speaker in right AirPod won't work

My AirPods are getting old, but recently the right one has stopped playing music in the main speaker. I can hear the music really well if I hold it away from my ear and trigger the music, but it sounds muffled and quiet when I put it back in my ear. I recently cleaned them too and picked all the wax out of them, so I don't believe they are stuffed up, and I already tried resetting them, that didn't work either. I bet I'll just have to get some new ones at some point, but if anyone has had this problem and fixed it please let me know!

iPhone 8, iOS 13

This didn't work, but thank you for the advice! The Firmware version is 6.8.8.

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

Repair/Service request: https://support.apple.com/airpods/repair/service

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

Settings > General > About > AirPods > Firmware Version
