I only have one ear canal. any chance of a custom set of air pods that are only left ear

Title says it all. I only have one ear canal so buying any earbuds/headphones I only get 50% use. I’m a ups delivery driver so with only one ear I can’t really listen to music and still safely hear my surroundings. With airpod pro transparency mode I could finally have music but the right earbud would never get used. Help me reach someone to get a set of left only earbuds!

Using AirPods in One Ear:

A. This is Not an Option:

AirPods are only two-sided. They must both be inserted. Other manufactures make models that let you perform what you want to do. J5 Buds let you assign different devices to each earpod.


B. So, Leave Apple Your Feedback:

Do Your Part: To get your word out to Apple on this, you need to provide Apple feedback.  Apple won't get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what their customers prefer, and what to include in models to come.
