If your left or right AirPod stops working

Yesterday, I listened to a podcast with only my right AirPod. The left AirPod was in the case. I then charged both AirPods overnight.

This morning, the left AirPod refuses to work: no audio, no chime when inserted, and no Siri when double tapping. The right AirPod works fine.

I tried rebooting my iPhone, disconnecting and reconnecting the AirPods, and toggling on/off Automatic Ear detection in settings. Nothing has worked. I've used my AirPods for several days and this is the first problem that I have had.

Any suggestions?

Does not work for me.

80% of the time the left airpod does not work. I disconnect, reconnect, reset, turn off the phone, try on my macbook, a friend's phone, and I have the same issue.
Once in a while, it is the right airpod that does not work.

When I am lucky, 1 time out of 10, but AirPods work.

Wish I could say this worked for me, unfortunately it didn't in my case. Thanks.

my left stopped working but the volume was low to none. I tried the fix but same thing. Then, I got this idea to check the airpods and lo and behold, my problem was earwax, lol. ****.

Thanks. Meantime I rebooted the AirPods after disconnect them (forget this device) for the third time 🏽♂ And it works.

When I had this problem I determined that it was some dust/lint in my case preventing good contact and thus my left pod was not charging.

Blowing into the case fixed it.

I don't get the amber light. I should say that I use the right airpod much more than the right as I use it at work but that shouldn't affect the left airpod anyway. 😟

Something is wrong with the ‘left’ airpod...very mysterious

My left side pod isn’t working too

Why left

Maybe my ‘left’ pod has left the pair

I had this problem but fixed it by letting both AirPods run flat then charge them up

Samething but to my right AirPod.
