Dropped them into the toilet... Left earbud now quiet

Hi!
I made a mistake, the earbuds + case fell out of my pocket and into the toilet... I immediately heated them with a hair dryer for about 10 minutes, sprayed contact cleaner and cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, although I haven't taken them apart yet.

I let them dry, everything seems to work but the left earbud is really quiet.

Is it fixable?

Thanks!

Hi

It could be a bad battery in the earbud but I suspect that by heating them with a hair drier that may have slightly melted or deformed the driver/speaker

It might be worth waiting a day or so to let them dry if you don’t want/can’t open them

Hopefully this helps

Any questions please ask

Thanks:-)

I have opened them up, cleaned the back of it with iso, and now they are working! Is it worth me opening up the other end of the earbud, plus the other earbud to check for damage or do you think it will be ok?

Thank you!
