How do I go about ordering only one airpod?


[Re-Titled by Moderator]

Original Title: I have a cochlear implant in my left ear and would like to purchase an airpod for only my right ear.

Apple does not sell the AirPods individually like that unless you are trying to replace a single lost AirPod. In that case you can replace just the one you lost. I'm afraid your only option is to buy the AirPods and not use the one you do not need. But please check at the Apple Store to be sure.


On a sidenote, my suggestion should work for you. In my experience, I frequently use just one AirPod, leaving the other in this case.
