A man had gone to sleep still wearing his wireless earphones, and he woke up the next morning realising that one of the earbuds was missing – he then played some music to try to find out where the missing earbud went and discovered that sound was coming out of his stomach.
He then went and got an x-ray and discovered that his missing wireless earphone was actually inside his stomach – he had apparently inadvertently swallowed one of his wireless Bluetooth earbuds in his sleep.
According to a post on Weibo, the incident took place on 7 April in Jinan, Shandong, China, and the Chinese man had fallen asleep while wearing his wireless Bluetooth earphones.
When he woke up, he realised one of the earphones was missing and he then connected to the earbuds with his phone and played music, in a bid to locate the missing earphone.
Music then started playing from inside his stomach, to his horror, and he then rushed to see a doctor for medical advice and help at about 4 am in the morning.
Upon reaching the hospital, the man then described his peculiar situation to the medical staff members and recalled how they were stunned by his revelation.
Seeing the funny side of things, he said that it was funny and recorded the incident, as he held his phone camera closer to his stomach and music could be heard playing from inside his abdomen.
An x-ray was then performed by the doctor, and there it was – his missing wireless earphone was inside his abdomen.
It is unclear what actions the doctor took to help him remove the earphone but the man is taking laxatives and hoping that it would help him expel the earphones.
However, if it still doesn’t work, he might have to undergo a surgical procedure to extract and remove the foreign object inside his body.
