I actually hit upon impedance here because that is the one number generally that does not match the specifications I am using for this particular search. That being said, the surgery in question took place in 1992. It would be more than a decade before this incident could even be measured

You may have better luck picking a few common brands and going to the manufacturer websites. Sony, for example, will let you select multiple models for comparison across features: https://www.sony.ca/en/electronics/headphones/t/headband-headphones FWIW, about 5 years ago I got a Sony MDR-7506
