Technology advancements are making our lives more comfortable with new features and improved designs. However, opposing the benefits, a Taiwanese man accidently swallowed Apple AirPod while sleeping and was surprised to find it working inside his stomach.

An unusual experience happened with a Taiwan based navy recruiter named Ben Hsu. While sleeping, he somehow slipped the right AirPod into his mouth. After coming back to the senses, he found it missing and used the ‘Find my Airpods’ feature to locate it. After searching, he found the ‘beep, beep’ sound coming from his stomach.  “I checked under my blanket and looked around but couldn’t find it,” Hsu said. “Then I realized the sound was coming from my stomach.” 

Hsu rushed to the hospital for a checkup to confirm the ordeal that happened with him. The doctors at Kaohsiung Municipal United Hospital validated it through his X-ray and prescribed him a laxative. He was asked to wait and let nature take its course.

The next day Hsu successfully eliminated it from the body and found it still working with 41 percent battery life left. Airpods are not officially waterproof, and even Apple advises users to keep it away from liquids.

However, users should be aware of these kinds of situations and always keep Airpods away while sleeping.
