Left AirPod not working

My left AirPod isn’t working and I’ve tried forgetting the device then reconnecting many many times but it does nothing. Plus I’ve thoroughly cleaned both AirPods including the mesh at the bottoms and left them to charge for an hour. Also when I open the lid the connecting screen doesn’t pop up anymore where I’m shown the case and AirPods battery life the only way it will show up is when I forget device and then reconnect. I’m guessing that has something to do with it but it’s strange because the right one will still connect even without the connection screen popping up

Hello,

Start with a full reset:

Reset your AirPods

To get more information on your AirPods, see this:

Place the connected AirPods in your ears and open the cover of the charging case
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and select the circled “i” next to your AirPods
Change the name or anything else on the screen
For more detail: Adjust the settings of your AirPods

Good luck.
