To reconnect your AirPods Pro:

1. Go to your Phone Settings.
2. Inside Phone Settings, navigate to Bluetooth.
3. Now choose your AirPods Pro and press Forget this Device.

Now that you have disconnected your device, you need to reconnect it. Before reconnecting your device, put your AirPods in their case with their lid closed for at least 10 seconds.

Audio Balance allows iPhone users to control their AirPod sound. By moving the slider, users can choose whether they want the left side or right side to be dominant. Sometimes if the slider is entirely on the right side, you will lose all the sound in your Left AirPod.

To check whether that’s the case with your AirPods Pro, you need to

1. Go to Settings.
