   One of my Airpods fell out of my ear and landed in a really dumb place.
   It was still active, so I had to use the other Airpod to hear my phone. My Braille display battery was flat, so no way to use the phone without turning off Bluetooth, which also disables "Find My."
   Made the Airpod chirp, but couldn't hear it, even through the other Airpod with all the things maxed out. Why? Because it thinks that little chirp is feedback and cancels it out.

     I ended up using a hand-held recorder cranked to the max, aiming it on the floor like a broom, until I found it wedged in a corner in a box behind some other boxes.
     Great fun.
     I couldn't hear the Airpod through the recorder with headphones on, so I had to put the headphones over the existing Airpod. Even then, it was hard.
     Don't be jealous.
     For some reason, it didn't cancel out the chirp as heard through headphones via the microphone.
     At least it wasn't in the trash can this time.
