They're not going to matter at all.  The general rule, and there are exceptions, is to keep <whatever> six inches from your pacemaker. In the case of headphones, you could have a problem if you slept on a high-end pair.

I have a pacemaker but no ICD. I had all the hearing tests at an ear, nose, throat doc. Nothing was a problem at all including the larnyx scope.

You can wear headphones, ear buds, bluetooth, etc during tests or during every day life, no issues.
