Airpods Mic Not Working On Phone Calls

My airpods have been perfectly fine but recently the left ear doesn’t work for phone calls. I can still hear but the mic doesn’t work for that ear. I’ve tested the mic on other apps. You can hear me fine when i take a video..it seems to just be phone calls?

Hello,

Try this:

Open the Settings app and go to the Bluetooth section. Next to the AirPods entry on the list of devices, you should see an “i” icon inside of a circle. Tap this, then select microphone, and set it to either left, right or automatic. Try switching it back and forth.

Then, test with the Voice Memos app.

Good luck.
