AirPods quiet in left ear

When ever an AirPod is in my left ear it is really quiet. I have no hearing problems and normal EarPods work fine in both ears, but whenever I put either of the two AirPods in my left ear, it’s really quiet. Why is that?

Hello,

Hmm, low volume is normally a symptom of needing to be cleaned:

However, I'm not sure in your situation. You might try a full reset:

Also, try this:

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual and scroll down to “Balance L vs R” (Adjust the audio volume balance) and make changes.

Good luck.
