why do i sound like im underwater when using my airpod pro on a call?

If I use the microphone on my AirPod pros on any platform I sound underwater.

They're brand new.

I cleaned them.

I tried to adjust the microphone settings from automatic/left/right

I have disconnected and reconnected.

I tried(?) to update the firmware but not entirely sure if I did it correctly

One of the airpod mic is not working I am using Airpod generation 2. suddenly one of the mic (left side of airpod) is stopped working. The right side working fine. The problem is, the another person can hear me only when I use one airpod (Right side). If I use both while talking the other person can not hear me. The same problem is there when I use just one airpod (Left side). Is there a way to troubleshoot and fix

AirPods Pro 2nd Gen Mic Quality I cannot remember this problem when I had my first generation AirPods. When I am speaking to people outside they complain that it sounds like I am in an air tunnel. I have tried switching the side of the microphone and tried automatic mode and it’s like the AirPods are picking up all outside noise even in noise cancellation mode. I saw similar threads on here about it but hoping someone found a fix or a better alternative.

Airpod pro2 hearing assistance not loud enough So I have been using the pro2' as hearing aids for a few weeks and they worked quite well, but lately the volume is not what it was. When I first put them in my ear in the morning, they are loud and robust, but they quickly get too soft after a minute or so. I did check the volume in my iphone hearing assistance section and it was all the way up. Is there some software that is cutting back the volume?

I think that firstly you should reset them in this way:
