A wireless hearing aid system and method is disclosed that incorporates a traditional wireless transceiver headset (0301, 0302) and additional directional microphones (0303, 0304) to permit augmentation of the headset as a hearing aid. The invention incorporates a mode selector (0620) and programmable audio filter (0621) to permit the headset (0611) to be wirelessly programmed with a variety of hearing aid profiles (0507, 0623) that may be downloaded via the Internet (0508) or tailored to the patient's (0501) hearing impairment. The invention anticipates incorporation of circuitry within the headset to facilitate remote generation (0511) of hearing aid profiles to suit a variety of patient and/or environmental requirements. The invention may incorporate auxiliary audio inputs (each having one or more filters associated with their use), including but not limited to remote audio monitor (0628), cellular phone (0625), IPOD®/MP3/AM/FM/TV audio (0624), and/or wireless stethoscope (0630). |
