My neuroligist found out that my migraine was in fact epilepsy and I had bradycardia during the attack ,so I probably need to have a pacemaker . I am wearing an Oticon opn1 in my right ear and need one in my left ear very soon and was planning to buy the connect clip, I was wondering if it would interfere with my upcoming pacemaker ?

Here is some information I found online that may give some information so your medical provider can properly advise you, assuming this document matches your hearing aid model . There should be similar information in the documents you received with your hearing aid.

It appears the aids use 3.84 MHZ and 2.4 GHz. The connect clip would also use those same radio frequencies.

Thank you very much,that is something to ask my cardiologist and maybe the pacemaker technician as well .

The hearing aids shouldnt effect your pacemaker, as my FIL’s ’s don’t effect his. He was told/warned about electrical equipment though, some will effect the pacemaker some won’t. I’m not sure about the connect clip though… The types that Will was explained in the pacemaker brochure…
