Hearing Aids and surgery

I'm looking at getting one to help hear my coworkers during surgery, but I don't know how this particular hearing aid will function when a surgical cap comes into play. If you've seen anyone use a hearing aid in surgery for unilateral hearing loss, please let me know what you've seen to be effective.

I can wear a scrub cap or a baseball cap and it fits over my cochlear implant magnets and holds them securely to my head. We discussed where to place them prior to the surgery...
