Static in left ear bud when using transparency or noise cancellation

My first gen air pod pros have the latest firmware but i was wondering if there is a fix for the left ear bud producing nothing but static when transparency or noise cancellation is in use. If I deselect those the sound works fine it’s the noise, cancellation and transparency. When I select those options, it produces the horrible static, but just in the left earbud.
