What is the danger for people with pacemekers from magnets in devices such as headphones, toys, jewellery and computer hard drives ?
Magnets or electronic devices, such as mobile phones, should not be placed directly on the skin over a pacemaker, but in general there should be no problem with everyday use of headphones, computers and other domestic electronic equipment. If you ever have any doubts about a particular device, your local pacemaker clinic should be able to provide you with further advice.
