Answer:

A person that wears a hearing aid, and he hears with it , and he is able to communicate with other people, may be a shaliach tzibbur l’chatchila. The reason is because he now is able to hear and he is considered to having daas. He may even be the shaliach tzibbur on Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur.
