Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods, systems, and devices for determining a data rate for a communication between bilateral hearing prostheses are disclosed. A first hearing prosthesis transmits a first signal to a second hearing prosthesis during a first transmission interval. The second hearing prosthesis transmits a second signal to the first hearing prosthesis during a second transmission interval. The first signal includes an indication of a data rate for the second signal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: determining, by a first hearing prosthesis prior to a first transmission interval, a data rate to be used by the first hearing prosthesis and a second hearing prosthesis during a second transmission interval, wherein the determined data rate is based on an acoustic environment in which the first hearing prosthesis and the second hearing prosthesis operate, and wherein the first hearing prosthesis and the second hearing prosthesis are bil…
