Headphones

I have just had a pacemaker implanted. I use headphones with a cable lead to listen to my my CD player or my TV so not disturb the neighbours. Will it interfere with my pacemeker and how about if I  get new headphones with Bluetooth and listen wirelessly? Thanks for any advive....  .

There is absolutely nothing wrong with either. I was only warned not to place high-end headphones directly on the pacemaker. High-end sets use neodymium (super) magnets that may trigger the magnetic sensor in the PM if directly on the PM.  6" (probably less) away is perfectly safe.

You know you're wired when...

You make store alarms beep.
