Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a first device configured to transmit over a first group of frequency channels via a synchronous communication link a first type of digital packets to a second device; and a third device configured to transmit over a second group of frequency channels via an asynchronous communication link a second type of digital packets to the second device, wherein: the first group of frequency channels is non-overlapping with the second group of frequency channels, the second device is a hearing prosthesis that includes: (1) a data interface configured to listen for (i) the first type of digital packets on the first group of frequency channels and (ii) the second type of digital packets on the second group of frequency channels, (2) a sound processor configured to receive audio and to generate instructions for generating and applying output signals to an ear, and (3) an output signal interface configure to generate and apply the output signals to the ear, and the second device communicates with the third device in a bidirectional manner.
