Speaker's magnetic field and pacemaker

I've never got a satisfactory answer to this question over the years. Perhaps there's someone here with experience or knowledge-

Pacemakers and strong magnetic fields don't mix. IE, no MRIs, magnetometers, etc. Do speakers with large magnets, typically in the woofer, present a practical problem for someone with either a pacemaker or an AICD?

Thanks-

Scientific reports suggest 15cm is adequate and safe distance. The real risk is from MRI scanning for which technically there is no safe field.

That being said, I have LPs of female artists that make my heart skip a beat, especially if staring at large album art while listening.

Thank you! A bad heart ain't fun. Last year I had major surgery, took 3 months to recover, and aside from bond movies at any hour of the day, my own form of self therapy, recovery and meditation was listening to music.

I had asked manufacturers and others but never really got any definitive answers.
