System and method for sharing network resources between hearing devices

摘要

A system for enabling a hearing device wireless access to a communication network, and comprising a first transceiver unit in said hearing device communicating according to a first communication protocol; a server device comprising an input/output unit connected to said communication network and adapted to communicate according to a second communication protocol, a second transceiver unit connected wirelessly to said first transceiver unit and adapted to communicate according to said first communication protocol, and a translator unit interconnecting said second transceiver unit and said input/output unit and adapted to translate between said first and second communication protocol; and wherein said hearing device is adapted to upload and download data to and from said communication network through said server device, wherein said bearing device further comprises an acoustic environment detector adapted to generate an environment signal to be forwarded as data payload in a data package to an environment service provider in said communication network.
