Claim 0:
1. A listening device for tracking locations of tracking devices in a physical space, the listening device comprising:
at least one wireless transceiver;
one or more sensors each configured to generate a respective signal indicative of a position of the listening device in the physical space; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the at least one wireless transceiver and the one or more sensors, the one or more processors configured to execute instructions that causes the one or more processors to:
generate at least one positional indicator associated with the listening device based on the signals generated by the one or more sensors,
wherein the positional indicators associated with the listening device include an orientation of the listening device relative to one or more axes;

wirelessly communicate with a tracking device in the physical space by receiving a tracking signal from the tracking device via the at least one wireless transceiver;
identify a position of the tracking device relative to the listening device based on the wireless communication with the tracking device; and
locate the tracking device within the physical space based on the identified position of the tracking device relative to the listening device and the one or more positional indicators associated with the listening device;
wherein locating the tracking device in the Physical space comprises correcting the identified position of the tracking device relative to the listening device based on the orientation of the listening device.
