A method for a wireless hearing device (102, 103) to communicate using a shared transceiver, the method comprising: aligning a timing of audio frames of a first wireless communication protocol with a timing of slots of a second wireless communication protocol to reduce overlapping requests to access the shared transceiver from the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol, wherein the second wireless communication protocol is Bluetooth Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate TM and wherein the first slot of the second wireless communication protocol occurs at the same time as retransmissions of the audio packets in the first wireless communication protocol, and wherein the slots are associated with master-slave communications; receiving a first request to access the shared transceiver of the wireless hearing device (102, 103) from the first wireless communication protocol and receiving a second request to access the shared transceiver of the wireless hearing device (102, 103) from the second wireless communication protocol during a coexistence window, the coexistence window having a duration of less than or equal to a duration of an audio frame of the first wireless communication protocol and of at least D = ((MS + SS) * 625 + 126) microseconds, where MS is the maximum slot size of packets that can be transmitted by the master and SS is the maximum slot size of packets that can be transmitted by the slave; granting the second request from the second wireless communication protocol to be executed based on priority of the second wireless communication protocol over the first wireless communication protocol during the coexistence window; receiving a third request to access the shared transceiver of the wireless hearing device (102, 103) from the first wireless communication protocol and receiving a fourth request to access the shared transceiver of the wireless hearing device (102, 103) from the second wireless communication protocol outside of the coexistence window; and granting the third request from the first wireless communication protocol to be executed based on priority of the first wireless communication protocol over the second wireless communication protocol outside the coexistence window. aligning a timing of audio frames of a first wireless communication protocol with a timing of slots of a second wireless communication protocol to reduce overlapping requests to access the shared transceiver from the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol, wherein the second wireless communication protocol is Bluetooth Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate TM and wherein the first slot of the second wireless communication protocol occurs at the same time as retransmissions of the audio packets in the first wireless communication protocol, and wherein the slots are associated with master-slave communications; receiving a first request to access the shared transceiver of the wireless hearing device (102, 103) from the first wireless communication protocol and receiving a second request to access the shared transceiver of the wireless hearing device (102, 103) from the second wireless communication protocol during a coexistence window, the coexistence window having a duration of less than or equal to a duration of an audio frame of the first wireless communication protocol and of at least D = ((MS + SS) * 625 + 126) microseconds, where MS is the maximum slot size of packets that can be transmitted by the master and SS is the maximum slot size of packets that can be transmitted by the slave; granting the second request from the second wireless communication protocol to be executed based on priority of the second wireless communication protocol over the first wireless communication protocol during the coexistence window; receiving a third request to access the shared transceiver of the wireless hearing device (102, 103) from the first wireless communication protocol and receiving a fourth request to access the shared transceiver of the wireless hearing device (102, 103) from the second wireless communication protocol outside of the coexistence window; and granting the third request from the first wireless communication protocol to be executed based on priority of the first wireless communication protocol over the second wireless communication protocol outside the coexistence window.
