Does anyone have a problem with their AirPods (not Pro) suddenly seeming dead silent? I've cleaned my AirPods very carefully and they are spotless. I've also had my ears cleaned out, but my AirPods seem to be whisper quiet. I've done all the tricks of trying to reconnect and disconnect and checked all the volume settings. Any advice here would be really welcome.

Honestly I went at the grille with an electric toothbrush for a while and that fixed it.

I used an ultra fine point and covered it in a tiny hard wax ball to clean off my AirPods. I bet they're cleaner than even new ones at this point. No clue why they still sound so faint.

Have you restarted the phone?

I've restarted both the phone and computer, and let the batteries drain to 0% on the AirPods.
