Idaho woman mistakes own hearing aid for candy

Here’s a cautionary tale for those tempted to dip into the Halloween candy early.Not one to wait until the last minute, Violet Bishop has already purchased goodies to dispense to trick-or-treaters.Well, the other night the 87-year-old Coeur d’Alene resident was about to watch “Dancing With the Stars.” And she wanted a snack.“I was lying there and decided that a sweet morsel of chocolate would be rather gratifying,” she said.So she went to the kitchen and got a small box of Milk Duds from her Halloween stash. She ended up eating her hearing aid. What is a 87 year old woman doing eating Milk Duds anyway? I have a hard time eating those and I don't even have dentures it must have been impossible for her to eat them.
