Left Speaker on 2016 MacBook Pro Not Working

So I've had my 2016 MacBook Pro since September of 2019.  It's worked great for the most part, but I recently noticed that the left speaker is completely unresponsive.  I've looked through forums but reseting PRAM and SMC has not worked. Even restarting it several times hasn't helped anything.


Please help.

Thanks.
