In 2021, Ben Hsu reportedly fell asleep while wearing Apple's wireless earbuds and found that he was missing one headphone when he woke up.⁠ ⁠ 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 Daily Mail 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.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #science #medicine #sciencenews #medicinenews #medics #taiwannews #news #airpods
