Headphones?

Just before I got my pavemaker I bought a very expensive set of wireless headphones.  Now, with my pacemaker, it seems  can't use them.  Does anyone know if any headphones are OK to use?

I use Bluetooth earbuds all the time (using my AirPods while typing this).  Found a study that tested three different types of headphones on PM and ICD patients.  Report summary "No interactions when the headphones were at least 1.2 inches from skin's surface over the device."  Medical Device Safety Institute at Beth Israel as reported by TechNews World,com

I use an offbrand bought from a Groupon.  No problems

Thanks everyone!  Much appreciated.

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