Pacemaker and wireless headphones

Published

My dad is 93 and hard of hearing, but he likes to listen to informational programs on his television. He would like some wireless headphones, but he has a pacemaker. Would it be safe for him to use the wireless headphones? If so, what kind should I get?

These are questions you should be asking your father's health care provider. We do not have access to his medical records to determine the type of pacemaker and what it would be compatible with. If he has an implant ID card from the company, they may also provide information as to what can or can't be used with the pacemaker.
