left airpod not working

My left airpod is not working. When I try to use it, it does not connect or register that it is in my ear. It also is always listed at 0% when charging in the case, but sometimes it does not even show it is in the case.

forget the AirPods from all your apple devices then, press the back button for 30 seconds till the light changes from white to amber. Repair the headphones.

Unpair, restart, or reset your AirPods

you should also update the firmware

if that doesn’t fix your problem, go to apple, they will do a diagnostic on your AirPods and replace the broken AirPods. For $ or if you have AppleCare
