AirPod Pro sudden, deafening noise in one ear

I had to start this thread again but this issue has already been brought up and contributed to by 10 other users. I just got a SUPER loud crack type noise through my right AirPod while using Spotify which caused me to rip it out in a reflex motion. Was only once but my AirPods have been doing some other weird stuff lately too which they haven't in the past (feels like battery is draining much faster). Plus I'd prefer not to be deafened and pay for the privilege. Here is the link to the previous thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251846444?login=true
