Assuming it's all for your head.

I wouldn't rub the machines directly on the pacemaker area. Maybe hold the electrical wires a bit away also.

I have issues with the hair dyer but the clippers do not cause any problems for me. I love the hair vac he uses on my head - very relaxing.

Bankkok? wow I'll be in Japan next week same hemishere

I can't see issues w ith t hem but as above keep away from your pacemaker with t he leads and such, also you can email medtronic they are really good on questions like this, I work in a shipyard with no problems but its just being aware of surroundings!
Best of luck,

I had a pacemaker when I was 11. I never once thought I wasn't a 'normal kid' nor was I ever treated differently because of it. I could do everything all my friends were doing; I just happened to have a battery attached to my heart to help it work.
