Wireless hearing device interactive with medical devices

A method of wireless interaction with medical devices comprising:

• communicatively coupling a wireless hearing device comprising a speaker to a medication dispenser or an implantable medical device in proximity of the wireless hearing device, wherein the wireless hearing device further comprises memory storing a plurality of control parameters received from a computing device, each control parameter associated with a respective one of a plurality of medical devices;
• receiving, by the wireless hearing device, a first wireless signal from the medication dispenser or the implantable medical device, wherein the first wireless signal represents a status of the medication dispenser or the implantable medical device;
• and
• transmitting, using wireless electronics of the wireless hearing device, a second wireless signal to the medication dispenser or the implantable medical device representing acknowledgement, control, or verification by the wireless hearing device.

A wireless medical device system comprising:

• a wireless hearing device comprising a speaker, wireless electronics, processor, and memory storing one or more control parameters for wirelessly interacting with at least one medical device selected from the group consisting of a medication dispenser and an implantable medical device other than the wireless hearing device, wherein the hearing device is configured to wirelessly interact with the at least one medical device according to the one or more control parameters associated with the at least one medical device;
• the at least one medical device;
• and
• a computing device configured to wirelessly send the one or more control parameters to the wireless hearing device for enabling wireless interaction between the wireless hearing device and the at least one medical device.

A wireless medical device system comprising:

• a wireless hearing device comprising a speaker, wireless electronics, processor, and memory storing one or more control parameters for wirelessly controlling at least one medical device other than the wireless hearing device, wherein the wireless hearing device is configured to wirelessly control the at least one medical device according to the one or more control parameters associated with the at least one medical device, and wherein the wireless hearing device further comprises a switch configured, when actuated, to control the at least one medical device in proximity of the wireless hearing device;
• the at least one medical device;
• and
• a computing device configured to wirelessly send the one or more control parameters to the wireless hearing device for enabling wireless control by the wireless hearing device of the at least one medical device.

A wireless hearing device comprising:

• a speaker configured for placement in an ear;
• wireless electronics;
• memory configured to receive and store a plurality of control parameters sent wirelessly from a computing device, the plurality of control parameters each associated with a respective one of a plurality of medical devices;
• and
• a processor configured to select, from the plurality of control parameters stored in the memory, a control parameter associated with a corresponding medical device;
• wherein the wireless hearing device is configured to detect at least one of a medication dispenser or an implantable medical device in proximity to the wireless hearing device and wirelessly interact with the medication dispenser or implantable medical device in proximity to control a function of the medication dispenser or implantable medical device according to the control parameter selected by the processor from the memory.
