Hearing aid streamer & pacemaker

I am new to this site. I will be having a bi-ventricular pacemaker in the next month for a-fib & heart failure. At this point i do not know which brand or model.
I also use hearing aides and a streamer for music, and phone from my cell. Does anyone know whether an Oticon Streamer will interfere with the running of the pace maker. Understandably I am very nervous about the procedure and would prefer to have all the answers ahead of time so there are no surprises after the pacemaker has been implanted.
If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.

Anne: I have TWO hearing aids & a PM. I use Bluetooth frequently that connects directly to my hearing aids. There are all sorts of gadgets that connect directly to aids & none of them have any record that I know of where they have affected aids.

They (PM) are to well shielded for them to be affected by the low power levels of the home devices.

BTW: There is NO way on earth that you can have ALL the answers before - or after implantation.

Do me a favor, please - go to the top righ corner of this page & use the "SEARCH" function. Look for "Some Tough Love for Newbies." I wrote it & it will help you over the bumps in PM life for the first few weeks of your hostess duties.

There are virtually no home electronics or gadgets we cannot use.

So, my advice is to go about your daily routine and forget that you have a pacemaker implanted in your body.
