Fourth, try resetting your AirPods. Just press and hold the setup button on the back of your charging case for at least 15 seconds. Then, repair them with your Mac and see if that helps.
If none of these solutions work, try restarting your Mac. If the issue persists after this, it’s best to contact Apple Support for further assistance.

The ports in the case can also contribute to this accumulation. To keep your AirPod case clean and prevent this build-up, you should clean it regularly with a damp cloth or an electronics cleaning brush.

Why is one AirPod louder than the other?
One AirPod being louder than the other is likely due to a difference in the audio levels between the left and right channels. In order to ensure the best possible listening experience, Apple designs the AirPods to balance the audio levels in each channel.
If the balance has been thrown off for some reason, one of the channels may be louder than the other.
There could also be an issue with one of the AirPods’ internal components. If one of the internal speakers is malfunctioning, it can cause the other AirPod to be louder than normal.
If you find that one of your AirPods is louder than the other, the best solution is to use Apple’s Volume Balance setting. This setting helps to balance the volume of left and right channels. To access it, go to your iPhone’s Settings, select Music, and tap Volume Balance.
From there, you can adjust the strength of the left and right channels until you hear a balanced sound.
