Assistive listening device systems, devices and methods for providing audio streams within sound fields

An audio communication device or audio provisioning device comprising:

• a control circuit;
• a power supply circuit in electrical communication with the control circuit;
• a communications circuit in electrical communication with the control circuit;
• the audio communication device or audio provisioning device configured to receive communications regarding a plurality of assistive listening devices;
• select appropriate audio streams for assistive listening devices from which communications have been received based on the received communications from the plurality of assistive listening devices;
• calculate a total bandwidth required for all selected audio streams;
• compare the calculated total bandwidth to a total bandwidth available to the audio communication device or audio provisioning device for audio stream transmission;
• and
• send the selected audio streams to the plurality of assistive listening devices.
