My AirPods are stuck on transparency mode after the 18.1 update

For some reason my 2nd Generation AirPods Pro are staying stuck in transparency mode when only using one of them. I have tried restarting the AirPods (Press and hold the case button for 15 seconds), turning off transparency mode, and tried restarting my phone, however nothing has worked. I didn't see this in any of the features of the update, is this a glitch or did something actually change?

AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

You have to enable "Off Listening Mode" in the airpods settings to fix this issue
