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 Vivia™ 9 hearing aids have an excellent anti-whistling system. For more information, contact your Resonate Health specialist today.
