Hearing device with position data, audio system and related methods

A hearing device comprising:

• a first antenna;
• a first transceiver coupled to the first antenna and configured to wirelessly receive one or more audio streams from an audio system, the one or more audio streams including a first audio stream, wherein the hearing device is configured for pairing the hearing device with the audio system;
• a microphone;
• a primary processing unit configured for processing an input signal according to a hearing prescription in order to alleviate a hearing loss;
• an acoustic output transducer coupled to the primary processing unit for conversion of an output signal from the primary processing unit into an audio output signal;
• a secondary processing unit with a first input and a second input, wherein the first input is coupled to an output of the first transceiver for receiving a first wireless input signal representative of the first audio stream, and the second input is coupled to an output of the microphone for receiving an audio input signal from the microphone, wherein the secondary processing unit is configured to mix the first wireless input signal and the audio input signal to form a mixed signal, and wherein the secondary processing unit has an output for providing the mixed signal to the primary processing unit;
• and
• a position controller configured for detecting and sending position data of the hearing device to the audio system.

A method of operating an audio system comprising one or more audio sources including a first audio source, the audio system comprising a first antenna, a first transceiver coupled to the first antenna, and a processing unit, the processing unit being coupled to the first transceiver, the method comprising:

• pairing the audio system with a hearing device;
• receiving position data indicative of a position of the hearing device;
• receiving input signal(s) from the one or more audio sources including a first input signal from the first audio source;
• processing the input signal(s) based on the position data to form a first wireless output signal;
• and
• sending a first audio stream to the hearing device based on the first wireless output signal.
