If you are the one implanted with a pacemaker or a cardioverter defibrillator, then the information below may be useful to you.
As according to a study, Headphones used with MP3 digital music players like the iPod etc.interfere with the working of the above mentioned implants.
The interference is due to strong little magnets inside the headphones.
The headphones affect the normal working of these implants when placed at a distance of 1.2 inches of the implants.
When placed within the above mentioned distance(1.2 inches), 25 out of 100 people with a pacemaker experienced interference.
This number was 50 out of 100 (double) with people implanted with a cardioverter defibrillator.
So those with the implants should use Headphones normally; that's headphones should be placed in the ears; and should not be hung over the chest or put in shirt or coat pocket near the chest (when not being used).
The idea is not to bring headphones even when not in use, close to the implants (1.2 inches).
Ask others not to bring their headphones close to your implants as well, the study added.
Cellphones with Bluetooth(wireless technology)are unlikely to affect the normal working of pacemakers.
For happy and Healthy Heart :)
