Hi mante96,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


We understand that one of your AirPods isn't working. There are few steps you can do.


Start by making sure your AirPods and the case are both charged.


Check that the affected AirPod is clean and move anything that could be obstructing sound.


1. If any water has accumulated in the ear tip, tap the AirPod on a soft, dry, lint-free cloth with the ear tip opening facing downward to remove.
2. Pull off the ear tips from each AirPod and rinse the ear tips with water. Don't use soap or other household cleaners.
3. Wipe the ear tips with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Make sure that the ear tips are completely dry before reattaching to each AirPod.
4. Click the ear tips back on each AirPod. The ear tips are oval shaped, so make sure that you align them before you click them back on.

If there isn't any sound coming from the AirPod after cleaning and charging, reset them. You will pair AirPods back to iPhone and check functionality.
