1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a hearing device, Bluetooth® data packets from a plurality of wireless devices disposed in a same spatial region as the hearing device;
determining, at the hearing device, relative directional position information between the hearing device and each of the plurality of wireless devices based on the Bluetooth® data packets; and
analyzing, at the hearing device, the relative directional position information link with an artificially intelligent search algorithm to estimate a location of the hearing device in the spatial area.
