The AirPods 3, despite being water-resistant, can suffer from one-sided sound loss due to earwax, moisture, or internal driver failure.
Common signs include low volume in one ear, distortion, crackling, or complete silence.
Technicians will inspect and clean the speaker mesh, test the audio driver, and examine the internal circuit for faults.
If the speaker is still functional, sound can be restored by deep cleaning or repairing micro-connections.
This service avoids full replacement, preserving your AirPods' pairing, iCloud link, and unique serial number.
