It should be common sense that electronic devices can cause interference with other electronic devices (remember the old pacemaker / microwave problem?). I wrote earlier about RFID tags interfering with medical devices, a study released on Sunday shows that headphones might throw off pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) when placed within an inch of the medical devices.
