December 13, 20205 yr Ben Hsu reportedly fell asleep while wearing Apple's wireless earbuds and found that he was missing one headphone when he woke up. He then used Apple's tracking feature to find it, which prompts a loose AirPod that's connected and within range to play a sound. Hsu heard the beeping sound, but did not initially know where it was coming from. "I checked under my blanket and looked around but couldn't find it — then I realized the sound was coming from my stomach," he said. Medics at the Kaohsiung Municipal Hospital indeed confirmed that the AirPod was in his stomach and was in the process of passing through his digestive system, the report said. Hsu said he found the AirPod the next day after passing it naturally. The earbud was still intact and worked properly after he had cleaned it and let it dry. A doctor who works in the hospital's emergency room said that swallowing the AirPod did not harm Hsu because he was not directly exposed to the device's battery. SOURCE: Business Insider
