Worcester man unknowingly swallowed an AirPod while sleeping
More at link
After a long night of shoveling on Monday, Gauthier went to bed with his headphones in. He awoke to find one earbud missing and that he was unable to swallow water.
The Worcester resident posted to his Facebook Tuesday morning detailing the bizarre events that had transpired over the previous 24 hours.
“Here’s one for the record books... I woke up this morning, felt fine, but when I tried to drink a glass of water it wouldn’t go down, I had to lean over to let it spill out into the sink,” he wrote. “Gross. Something felt off with a lot of pressure in my chest, but I figured my throat was just dry or something from all the snow shoveling late last night... Right after that I looked around for my AirPod Headphones that I was listening to the night before as I went to bed and could only find one after scouring the bedroom.”
His son joked that maybe he swallowed the AirPod in his sleep, he wrote. Heather, Gauthier’s wife, pondered this over and then decided to take her husband to the hospital for an X-ray.
Turns out, the missing AirPod was lodged in Gauthier’s esophagus.
