Bradford Gauthier usually sleeps with his AirPods in, the 38-year-old said.
When Bradford Gauthier went to sleep in his Massachusetts home, he never imagined that he’d wake up with his AirPod lodged in his esophagus, but that’s just what happened. The 38-year-old usually sleeps with his AirPods in, but last Monday when he woke up and tried to take a sip of water, he couldn’t swallow it.
“It was a disconcerting feeling. I thought my throat was really dry,” Gauthier told Inside Edition Digital.
He did notice his AirPod was missing, but that wasn’t unusual, as he’s misplaced them before, but when he tried to drink water for a second time and couldn’t keep it down, he grew worried.
