Why is my left AirPod significantly quieter than my right AirPod?

Why is my left AirPod significantly quieter than my right AirPod? When I listen to music with my AirPods connected to my phone the sound is equal on both sides but when I connect to my MacBook Air the left is quieter than the right. Are there any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it?

If you substitute a pair of stereo headphones or earbuds, instead of the AirPods, do they work properly with your notebook? If they don't, then the culprit would be the notebook itself. However, if they do, then see if any of the following articles can help:
