I'm really concerned about my 75-year-old mother-in-law who has a pacemaker and had to stop using her hearing aid. Her cardiologist mentioned that the electromagnetic signals could mess with the pacemaker. I'm wondering if it's possible for her to use both if we keep the hearing aid battery more than 6 inches away from the pacemaker. If so, what kind of hearing aid would you recommend in this situation? Would love your advice on this.
