Noise cancelling not working with AirPod pros 2

When I put both AirPods in my ears and select noise cancellation, it says that I have to put both AirPods in my ears to use it, but they are already in my ear, and even with allowing noise cancellation with only one AirPod in it still doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

iPhone XR, iOS 17

Why is my AirPods Pro 2 not cancelling noise effectively? i have noted that my AirPods Pro 2 don't seem to actually be cancelling noise even though they are set to do so. Any tips to correct this? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Is there a way to get noise cancelling while wearing just one Airpod? I have a condition and I only have one ear. I am only able to wear the left airpod. So is there a way to circumvent the requirement to wear both airpods? First Step: Lose an ear (specifically the right one) Second Step: Buy Airpods, and put on the left one Third Step: Find out that Noise Cancelling only works when wearing both AirPods. If there is any way to get around this requirement I would love help on it. Otherwise, I will have wasted quite a bit of money on this purchase.

Basically, it just doesn’t register that both AirPods are in my ear even though they are
