Head phones

They're not going to matter at all.  The general rule, and there are exceptions, is to keep <whatever> six inches from your pacemaker. In the case of headphones, you could have a problem if you slept on a high-end pair.

I have a pacemaker but no ICD. I had all the hearing tests at an ear, nose, throat doc. Nothing was a problem at all including the larnyx scope. 

during a test and every day life

You can wear headphones, ear buds, bluetooth, etc during tests or during every day life, no issues.

You know you're wired when...

You read consumer reports before upgrading to a new model.
