Yes. Most hearing aid wearers can wear any type of hat without any problems.

ReSound Vivia™ 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.
