It's not uncommon for someone to misplace their AirPods. But this is a hazard you can avoid.
Brad Gauthier of Worcester, Massachusetts says he went to sleep listening to music but woke up and discovered that one of the ear pieces was missing.
Then he realized his throat felt funny. He tried to drink some water and couldn't swallow it.
Long story short (and he tells it better in his Facebook post), he had to have surgery to remove the AirPod he had swallowed in his sleep.
Brad's advice? "Be careful listening to wireless headphones when you fall asleep, you never know where they'll end up!"
