How listening to an iPod could stop your pacemaker working

Ipods can cause pacemakers to malfunction by making them go too fast, too slow or even stop altogether, according to a study.
Researchers found that iPods could make pacemakers malfunction by interfering with the electromagnetic equipment monitoring the heart rate.
As a result, the pacemaker was unable to effectively monitor how fast the heart was beating, making it unable to regulate its speed.
The study may concern the increasing number of older people downloading music from the Internet.
