Headphones and Your Heart
I found a very interesting article on the MSNBC site and thought I would share it. Today just about everyone has an I-Pod therefore this article could truly be a lifesaver.
The article brought back memories of my father, who was forever taking his hearing aids out and putting them in his pocket. This in turn, caused me to think if this article were to have appeared on more sites, a greater number of people could be made aware of the danger of the headphones.
NEW ORLEANS – Have a pacemaker or an implanted defibrillator? Don’t keep your ipods earbuds in your shirt pocket or draped around your neck — even when they’re disconnected. A study finds that some headphones can interfere with heart devices if held very close to them.
