Washed my AirPods Pro 2 they actually recovered after months

TL;DR: If your AirPods still charge/connect and are slowly getting better, don’t give up too soon. Mine took several weeks to fully recover.

One of my AirPods Pro 2 went through the washing machine with laundry detergent. At first it had a loud high-pitched ringing, then that went away but the audio was crackly (especially with bass). ANC was weak and made a bubbling noise in noisy areas, and Transparency barely worked.
I almost tried soaking it in 99% isopropyl alcohol, but decided to just keep using it since it kept improving little by little.
Then on a flight, it suddenly went completely back to normal. My guess is the cabin pressure helped clear whatever was still trapped inside.
Just wanted to share because I couldn’t find many posts from people who came back with an update after waiting. If your AirPod is still functioning and improving over time, it may just need more time.
