unless you were deaf in the other ear, why would you want to use ANC in one ear only?

I use one ear at a time, both for battery purposes, and so I don’t have the two AirPods communicating with each other through my brain.

I realize that we think nothing bad happens from the emissions from AirPods, but this may change in the future. Some have pointed out that prior studies involved devices that were not stuck quite so far into our ears.

Since I listen to podcasts and books, I have no need to use two simultaneously.

The question is that why you want to enable ANC even if you use single bud? Anyway noise is come from non plugged ear.

My answer is that ANC helps reducing playback volume to battle with noise so it still worth.

You're right that noise comes from the other ear. But I am able to listen at a lower volume when ANC is activated. I often listen while walking near traffic noise, which the ANC is fairly effective at defeating. With ANC — even in just one ear — I can preserve my hearing a bit.
