Dusty Chalk Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 not so good So, since a lot of us are old fogeys, I figured at least one of us would care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (used car advertiser voice) "You want to talk about visceral impact? I've got your visceral impact right (smacks self in chest) here. And in case the 'big one' comes, it doubles as a defibrillator." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 To really have a serious problem from the interaction of an external magnet and an implantable pacemaker or defibrillator you need the magnet power of the ones in the Apogee speakers, which are well above most dynamic speakers, so let alone tiny earphones I know it well, a friend of mine has one of those defib implanted and the only speakers which gave problems were his Apogees Duetta when he was holding them to change placement into the room. He finally sold the speakers, but he's a regular user of others and cans. Never a problem. One thing is "can be affected" and a very different one is having interaction to cause failure or malfunction, which should be the point instead of causing all this stupid public alarm. Cell phones can interact, MW ovens can interact... almost anything producing a EM or magnetic field can interact with a PM or DF. Fortunately not enough to cause malfunction, otherwise PM users should live in the countryside very away from any electrical or magnetic device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'd be more worried getting a prank call from a hacker if I had a pacemaker.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chekhonte Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 i just used my gaussmeter to measure the strength of the magnets in my headphones. My shure e4 and e5c had 2 gauss which is next to nothing. My alessando ms2i had 200 which according to the study had a potential to interfier with pacemakers.
