Sometimes even just a small amount of earwax can get in an block the speaker hole. I haven't figured out the best way to clean it out. Last time I dipped the silent earbud carefully into the highest concentration rubbing alcohol I could find, so that the hole that lets the sound out (after you've taken off the silicon tip) was immersed, but no further, so as not to let the liquid touch something electronic. It soaked overnight and I took it out to dry for a while, and the sound was back to normal. Though that worked for me, I don't recommend it unless you're willing to risk destroying the unit.

You could try twisting the jack while it's plug into your MP3 player and see if that restores the sound. Also you might not have the earbuds plugged in all the way. Other than that you could just have a defective pair of earbuds.

Sounds like something is caught inside it. Try blowing it out from both directions with compressed air.

i think you have it "backwards". Just gently un-bolt the sides and swap them. That should do it!

I have not had that problem, love mine, sorry I was not any help, sounds like a defect or an impedance problem to me.

I turned mine on and can only go by ear (no spl meter and no balance control) and it seems to be the same volume from both sides.

I have had this same thing happen to me after only ONE WEEK! Same answer.....tighten spring, re-install. This issue gives you an impression that these units are not made well!

Mine, which I bought about four months ago, does not make any noise. You might consider returning it. That is my only advice.

We had to call an appliance repair company. There was an electrical board that failed and they replaced it for us. Since then, that side worked great until the "red side" stopped working. Have to call the company back to replace that board as well...

Yes I've had the same thing happen. Yesterday as a matter of fact. I took a smooth edged knife and carefully lifted one side. :) hope this helps.

Just check your settings and see if it somehow got put into silent mode. Outside of that, I don't have any other idea.

I have both sides installed but it looks as if only one side could be used.

I haven't had a problem with mine at all. I would probably do what another person suggested. Unplug it for awhile, and then try it again. Sorry I can't be more help.

Lately, I put it on the high setting when I am not home, and change it to low when I am home so it is quieter. I have not had it very long, so this may change.

We haven't tred that. Works great on one side. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
