An X-ray revealed that the AirPod was indeed in his stomach, although Hsu was not experiencing any pain. Doctors gave him a laxative and he passed the earphone the following day in a railway station toilet.
Hsu found the missing AirPod after a gross search. After washing and drying the device he was stunned to discover that it still worked. Indeed, the AirPod’s battery was still at 41 percent, according to the Daily Mail.
