Hey there katrice1972,
Try switching the mic to the other side: Change the settings of your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support
"Set Microphone to left, right, or automatic
There's a microphone in each AirPod, so you can make phone calls and use Siri. By default, Microphone is set to Automatic, so that either of your AirPods can act as the microphone. If you're using only one AirPod, that AirPod will be the microphone.
You can also set Microphone to Always Left or Always Right. You can also set Microphone to Always Left or Always Right to always have either the right or the left AirPod use the microphone even if you remove it from your ear or put it in the case."
If that still doesn't work, we'd like to help by learning more about the issue, along with ruling out some general details:
- You mentioned that you're able to hear without any issues, but aren't able to be heard. Is this during a phone call, and if yes, does it occur in other apps(like when recording yourself in Camera or in Voice Memos)?
- Any issues with people hearing you when not using your AirPods, and just using the built-in iPhone mic?
- When did this start, and is iOS 16.4.1(a) the exact version showing installed under Settings > General > About?
Cheers!
