Headphones blue tooth

Bluetooth headphones are fine

I wear Shoks bone conduction headphones all the time without any problem. My son prefers his Airpods, and again, no problem at all. 

Absolutely no problem

I had similar concerns when I was given bluetooth hearing-aids. I wondered  if they would interfere in some way with my bluetooth-enabled Medtronic pacemaker.

My concerns were groundless ........absolutely no problem !

There are virtually no home electronics that will interfere with our devices. 

Bluetooth

The environment is full of radio transmissions in the same wavelength as BT. WiF, "smart" devices, phones etc.

It's virtually unavoidable.

Bluetooth is short range, less than 10 metres, so ear pieces would be in range of your device.

The reason it won't interact is that the transmissions are highly encrypted and specific to the device.

I work with ZigBee which uses the same frequency and the information transmitted is structured in such a way that only other ZigBee devices can decode it.

The coding that your implanted device uses is  almost certainly encrypted to very high standards so earpiece transmissions are are unlikely to interfere.

Like any other electrical/electronic equipment, it makes sense to keep it away from the immediate area of your device.

ya my dr. said no problems with headphones

So this buzzing happened…

Hiya folks, 

I dropped in today to see if anyone has reported an event like what happened to me today - related to bluetooth headphones: 

I was using a pair of Bose active noise-cancelling headphones bluetooth connected to my computer, and using a VoIP phone app to make calls. I've done this multiple times before, same computer, headphones, etc. The keyboard/mouse are also bluetooth, the computer is wired to the network, but the room has multiple wifi routers, and multiple wifi devices in it.  I have a UPS sitting on the floor about 4' away.  It's a techie desk.  It's also a very noisy space. 

While on hold - the hold music started having terrible digital break-up in my headphones. There would be a second or two, that it would fuzz out, then return to normal. After this happened about 3-4 times, I noticed that I felt a fuzzing sensation in my chest dead center at the same time. I powered off the headphones, the computer switched to the built-in speaker/mic, and the music-on-hold stopped having digital interference. The fuzzing feeling in my chest also stopped once the headphones were powered off. 

Coincidence?       ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Has anyone encountered anything similar?  

A little background:  I'm 7+ weeks out from an AICD implant, and am having trouble adjusting to what I can do trying to "go back to normal" now that the leads have had their bedding in time. I was extremely scared during the 6 weeks - because I had nearly no pain/ache/feedback from the incision to remind me that there was a reason I wasn't using my left arm, and only now is the incision starting to give me that ache that comes with nerves and skin recouperating from surgery. 

For all the reasons (and medications I'm one) I also have gastric issues that include GERD and acid reflux, etc. There are many times I can feel what feels like a fishtank bubbler in the middle of my chest, and this is something that long predates my cardiac issues, so I have a fair amount of "is that the device, or is it gas?" now.  

But today's fuzzing in the chest came from exactly where one of the leads made that sensation during my 1-week tune-n-test. And it stopped as soon as the headphones powered off.  

I saw the posting about the lenovo laptop with bad wifi, and I am enough of a radio geek to know that many unexpected things can cause radios to drift frequencies, power limiting to fail etc.

I'm open to the possibility that it was my device trying to phone home, and causing interference in the bluetooth, or my computer/headphone connection being affected by something else that was also triggering some weird response in the device. 

I'm still looking through older posts, I haven't quite read everything on this site yet, but hoped adding it to this discussion might be appropriate, vs trying to start a new thread.  If I should start a new discussion, let me know. 

Thanks @Julros for the Shoks pointer - those were my go-to before my event and implant being out and about.
