Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to hearing assistance systems and methods for use with assistive listening device systems. In a first aspect, a hearing assistance system is included having an ear-worn device can include a control circuit, a sensor package in signal communication with the control circuit, a power supply circuit in electrical communication with the control circuit, and a spatial locator circuit in communication with the ear-worn device. The spatial locator circuit can detect a current spatial location. The system can compare the current spatial location against entries in a database of spatial locations that offer assistive listening device services. The system can send a notification to the ear-worn device and/or ear-worn device wearer if the current spatial location is found in the database of spatial locations that offer assistive listening device services. Other embodiments are also included herein.
