Yes. Most hearing aid wearers can wear any type of hat without any problems. Some people can hear their own voices slightly louder or a bit of whistling from their hearing aids when wearing certain types of hats, but in most cases, properly tuned hearing aids should do this very little. ReSound Sensia™ 9 hearing aids have an excellent anti-whistling system. If you’d like a refresher on what are hearing aids and how they work, our guide covers the basics, and you can browse the Hearing Aids category page for more everyday tips.
