A man named Bradford Gauthier managed to swallow an AirPod in his sleep, proving that you can\u2019t blame furniture for all your lost earbuds. Somehow, this AirPod managed to work after it was retrieved by doctors \u2026 and this isn\u2019t the first time an AirPod has come out of someone\u2019s digestive tract in working condition.<\/p>\n

Bradford Gauthier recounted his experience in an interview with The Guardian<\/em><\/a>. Evidently, the AirPod fell on his pillow while he sleepily watched a movie in bed, and somehow ended up down his throat. He knew that he had lost the AirPod and had trouble swallowing water, but didn\u2019t make the connection until his son joked \u201cperhaps you swallowed it in your sleep?\u201d<\/p>\n

Doctors fished the AirPod out of his esophagus after finding it in an X-ray. Thankfully, the AirPod didn\u2019t block his airway or end up in his stomach (digesting a lithium-ion battery probably isn\u2019t too good for you). After getting home, Gauthier found that the AirPod still worked perfectly, though its microphone is slightly less effective than it was before the incident.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time<\/a> that an AirPod has survived someone\u2019s GI system. In 2019, a man in Taiwan tried to locate his AirPod with the Find My feature on his iPhone, chasing the AirPod\u2019s beeping tone around his room. Eventually, he figured out that the AirPod was beeping inside of his stomach.<\/p>\n

Moral of the story? Uh, don\u2019t swallow your AirPods. It\u2019s possible that this has happ<\/a>ened more than the two (wait, I mean three<\/a>) times that we\u2019re heard about it. Who knows, maybe there\u2019s someone walking around with an AirPod in their stomach right now, just waiting to catch it on its way out.<\/p>\n
