Why can no one hear me when I use my airpods?

Hi harts004,

For help with checking the microphone on your AirPods, test switching the settings using the steps below found in the article here: Change the settings of your AirPods and AirPods Pro

"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 the issue occurs when test with the left, right and automatic be sure the all steps for resetting your AirPods have been completed. The article you started from has the steps. How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro
