Headphones can be detrimental to your health

Older music lovers that use pacemakers, beware: your headset might just cause your heart beat to go haywire. And it’s as if all those hackers who can wirelessly mess with your heart gadget weren’t enough, now you have to deal with something that is highly common and easily accessible today – headphones.

The problem is that of the presence of a magnet which can be commonly found in almost all, if not all ear phone pieces. Some of these ear phones actually use the kind that has more than enough magnetic power to scramble implanted defibrillators and pacemakers from functioning properly.

Although there are no rampant lines of cases on this possibility happening, experts advise users to be careful especially when these head phones are an inch away from the device, which means avoiding using shirt pockets to keep them. Note: the head phones need not to be in use, they just have to be near the pacemakers to cause the risk.
