A man swallowed an AirPod that did not stop working
Bradford Gauthier recounted his experience in an interview with The Guardian . Apparently, the AirPod fell onto his pillow while he was in bed sleepily watching a movie and somehow ended up in his neck.
The next morning he realized that he had lost the AirPod and could not find it through the "find the Airpod" function as his battery was empty. He also realized that he had a problem drinking water because something "had stuck" in his esophagus, but he did not make the connection, until his son jokingly said to him: "did you swallow it in your sleep?"
He went to a doctor where he took an x-ray and found the lost AirPod stuck in his esophagus. The doctor did not want to let it get the natural way out through the digestive system, as he feared that it might get stuck in the intestine or break on the way. He removed it with a long forceps that penetrated her mouth and so Gautier avoided the worst.
Upon arriving home, Gautier found that the AirPod worked perfectly, although its microphone was slightly less efficient than before.
This isn't the first time an AirPod has survived inside its owner's body. In 2019, a man in Taiwan tried to locate his AirPod by using the Find My Airpod feature on his iPhone and chasing the sound of the AirPod around his room. Eventually, he realized that the AirPod was thumping inside his stomach.
