Many people like to fall asleep in headphones, but for some, this habit leads to sad consequences.
A man from Massachusetts, who always wore headphones at bedtime one fine morning, found that the headset was missing. After a long search for the “lost” ear, he went to work, but during the day felt a slight discomfort in the middle of the chest.
Just in case, he underwent an X-ray, and the doctor found that the AirPods were stuck in his esophagus.
“Gastroenterologists say that esophageal obstruction rarely causes pain or severe discomfort,” he said. “I never thought what danger awaited me. I was very lucky to discover this problem so early.”
But not only during sleep these headphones are dangerous. In June 2020, a sophomore from the United States also came to the emergency department because he accidentally swallowed one of his AirPods.
