Troubleshooting AirPods Pairing:

Being 2 years old, it seems cleanliness may be the issue here. So, start with troubleshooting the AirPods. From there, troubleshoot the iPhone's Bluetooth. See the following reply.

As a Last Resort:

E. Restore form a Backup:

Have a backup of your iPhone? If you are not concerned with losing data, then restore your iPhone from a backup that was made when this was working. Prior to restoring, backup your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong with the restoration. It must be the same iOS version.
