TLDR: My right dynamic driver appears to be dead. How can I potentially check and fix it?
I purchased my Mangird Tea (6BA+1DD) in May 2021. It worked fine for me until this week. I noticed that the right side sounded much quieter and less pronounced in bass notes. I tried several methods below to narrow down the problem:
I conducted an audio frequency test and discovered that I could not hear the frequency range from 20 to 50Hz on the right side, whereas it sounded clear and rumbling on the left side. I repeated the tests mentioned above while playing the frequency test, but nothing changed (the bass was still missing on the right side).
Can I conclude that the dynamic driver on my right side has died? Do I need to conduct further checks (without opening the IEM)?

- Swapping music.
- Swapping sides (to ensure it's not my ears' problem).
- Swapping the cable sides.
- Swapping the DAC dongle.
- Swapping to other IEMs.
