Sound only works in one ear

My ipod just stopped playing in the left ear for no reason. I haven't dropped it or anything. It's not the headphones, I have tried the same headphones on other electronics and they play fine. I have tried multiple pairs of headphones and they all only play in one ear

its your audio jack...its happened to my ipod before...you can buy one for real cheap on ebay...they go for no more than 10 bucks...you have to install it yourself though...its not that hard just that theres alot of little screws

Headphones only work in one ear...WHY?

I have an ipod touch and the head phones only work in one ear.... Have tried them in my iphone and the headphones work fine
Any ideas
Thanks

- Insert and remove the headphone plug a dozen times or so
- Restore the iPod. Try to factory defaults/new iPod too.
- If still problem then you have a hardware problem. Like the headphone jack is bad.
Apple will only exchange your iPod for this price:

When I use my IPod do listen to music my ear phones only works on one ear

- You have verified that the problem is the iPod and not the headphones, right?
- Try inserting/removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so. Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Likely a bad headophone jack.
- Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished for this price. They do not fix your iPod.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more places.

Ipod only works in one ear. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

My first generation ipod touch only works in one headphone. I've tried 10 different pairs of headphones but with all of them the sound only plays in the left ear. It works in both speakers when i plug it into the speaker that connects to its wider slot (the opening on the ipod next to where the headphones are plugged in) but when i use a cord that connects to the headphone slot that lets me play my ipod on my cars speakers it only works on the left side speaker.
I don't know what's wrong with it and i really need your help, so PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

This exact thing happened to my first gen touch. Sadly, I don't have good news for you. First side of the earphone jack stopped working. A few weeks later the headphone jack wouldn't work at all. (Using the docking slot along the bottom still worked fine the whole time, just as you said.) Unfortunately it's not possible to replace the headphone jack without replacing other major components inside the touch so it's very expensive to repair. I could not fix the problem and had to buy a new touch.

Sound only works from one port

My sound only works when I use the output port on the back of my computer, but I'd also like to use the one at the front of my computer for convenience. What setting am I supposed to change to do this? Here is some information about my system.

The "Front" channel isn't the same thing as the front panel. From the ALSA wiki:
"Front, Surround, Center, LFE (subwoofer) and Side (these are the names of the channels with Intel HD Audio, they may vary with different hardware)."

Sound only comes through one ear bud

Sound is now only coming through one ear bud. When I check the headphones with other devices, both ear buds have sound, so it must be the iPod. Has anyone experienced something similar.

It usually a likely indicator that your headphone jack is damaged and in need of replacement. You can have it serviced by Apple or a third party repair service for a little less.

Ipod sound only works for right ear

Hello. I have an Apple Ipod 5th generation. I have had it for a few months now. Lately, the right channel sound stopped working. Only the left ear works. It does not matter which headphones I use. If i pull the headphone jack out a little bit, I get mono in both ears. I have tried cleaning the headphone jack with a cloth covered screwdriver and alcohol. It made no difference.
Any suggestions, short of replacement of the headphone jack on the Ipod?

You should still have your warranty. Its for one year...found this out after my one year had expired so if you send it back to them you're still covered.

I have iPhone 3GS, and everytime I go to listen to my music with my headphones the sound only goes to one ear and when I listen to music with the speakers at the bottom speaker the left speaker only works! Can someone PLEASE HELP ME?

My music only plays in my left ear when I'm wearing my headphones and when I'm listening to music without my headphones the music only comes out through the left speaker. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME,? YOUR HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED.?

All iphone have one and only one speaker at the bottom.
Have you tried another set of earphones? Maybe they are the problem?
Have you made sure that the headphones are inserted all the way?

My sound only works through the ear phones with some apps....

With some apps (Games and books) I can only get sound on my IPAD 2 though the earphones...this just recently occured. With movies the sound goes through the speakers just fine. Is there some adjustment I can make so I can hear the games without using the ear phones?

Make sure that you haven't got notifications muted (which will affect most games, but not iPod or Videos apps, nor earphones). Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to, notifications can either be muted by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar (the function that the switch isn't performing is on the task bar instead) : double-click the home button to bring up the task bar, slide the bar to the right, and it's the icon far left. There is more info about the switch and the task bar and the mute/rotation lock functions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

When im putting my headphones in my ipod plugged it only works in one ear, is it garanteed ?

Everytime i want to listen to music i plugged my head phones in my ipod and on one side it never works.
Its not a probleme from my headphones cause i used it on my computer and it was working well.

Try pluggin in other headphones to the iPod. If it stills doesn't work, take it to an Apple Store ASAP. It sounds like you have a faulty iPod.

MY SOUND ISNT WORKING IN ONE EAR!!

i have tryed different head phones/buds/speackers... same problem. no sound in one side always. im fairly new with the ipod, does anyone knoe why it is doing this? any help is much appreciated... i cant seem to find any info anywhere..

mmmmm
Squeeze the front/back together.
I'm just wondering if the sound comes back.
Whether it does or not, this is most likely a hardware issue.
You should back up the data on your iPod.You can try Restoring your iPod with the newest Updater and see if that solves things. If not, bring it to an Apple Store or request service online at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod.

My headphones only work in one ear. Have I altered a setting my accident?

My toddler plays with my iPod, has he altered a setting by accident?

- Have you tried another pair of headhones or tested the headphones on another device to determine if an earphone or iPod problem?
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".

My headphone port only works through one ear, is there an easy fix?

Hi, I have always been careful to not leave my headphones plugged in when I'm not using my iPod (classic), but yesterday for some reason no music will play through the right headphone. I have tried three different sets of headphones and it's the same will all of them so it has to be the iPod, is there an easy fix at all? if i have to have it fixed does anyone know how much it might cost?
Thanks, Lauren.

I don't think it's possible anymore. I'm mildly surprised you were able to keep podcasts in regular playlists this long - I thought this option disappeared back with iOS7.
I do share your pain. I've finally grown used to having the podcasts in a separate app, but I still don't like it.

Headphones only play in one ear

My Apple headphones started only working in one ear on my iPhone 4s. I tried the headphones in other devices and they work fine. I tried different headphones on my phone and they do work in both ears. However they do not work with the device that I use to listen to my phone in my car.

Interesting. Well, thanks for sharing that with us.
