Micra pacemaker

I have been wearing a Micra pacemaker since September 2022. Works very well.

Could someone let me know if I can wear headphones to listen to music with that kind of pacemaker or is it not recommended ?

thanks in advance,

jean.

Headphones

I don't have a Micra, but I found that I was missing out on a bunch of life by heeding messages such as "avoid headphones". OK, don't deliberately put them on your implant area for an extended period of time - easy hurdle for most people to overcome. The headphones go on your ears, and then they come off and are set to the side when they need to be removed from your ears. Not draping them about your neck/shoulders should eliminate any concern. Wishing you happy listening through your headphones :)

Call the manufacturer

I'm sure you mean since 2021😉

I use headphones with my Boston Sci CRT-P. 
I let the cord hang over my back instead of my chest.

I am 100% pacemaker dependant and have been all my life. I try not to think about how a little metal box keeps me alive - it would drive me crazy. So I lead a very active life.
