A hearing device and a method for charging a hearing device is provided, the hearing device comprising an interface comprising a wireless transceiver configured for wireless communication with a charging device; and a power module comprising a charging controller and a receiving coil for wireless charging of a battery positioned in the hearing device; wherein the charging controller is configured to: obtain a first charging parameter; determine a primary charging scheme based on the first charging parameter; and transmit a primary charging indicator indicative of the primary charging scheme via the wireless transceiver.

Hearing device and related method of wireless charging

A system includes a first device and a second device configured to exchange data packages over a bi-directional wireless communication channel, wherein the first device and the second device are configured for use by a user; wherein the first device is configured to provide a first data package, wherein the first data package belongs to a first packet category and comprises first audio data; wherein the first device is also configured to transmit the first data package to the second device, and receive a second data package belonging to the first packet category; and wherein the second data package comprises second audio data, a code indicating whether data in the second data package is corrupted or invalid, and an indicator indicating whether the first data package was successfully received by the second device or not.

Method of exchanging data packages of different sizes between first and second portable communication devices

A method of exchanging data packages between first and second portable communication devices over a bi-directional wireless communication channel, where at least one of the first and second portable communication devices comprises a hearing instrument, includes: generating, by the first portable communication device, a plurality of data packages that includes a first data package, wherein a first subset of the plurality of data packages belongs to a first packet category comprising audio data, and a second subset of the plurality of data packages belongs to a second packet category without audio data; and transmitting the plurality of data packages from the first portable communication device to the second portable communication device; wherein a size of the data packages in the second subset belonging to the second packet category is smaller than a size of the data packages in the first subset belonging to the first packet category.

The present disclosure relates to a method of exchanging data packages between first and second portable communication devices over a bi-directional wireless communication channel. The method includes generating, by the first portable communication device, a first data package belonging to a first packet category comprising audio data or to a second packet category without audio data and transmitting the first data package from the first portable communication device to the second portable communication device through the wireless communication channel. Where an acknowledgement indicator of the second data package is unset or the second data package is absent, the first portable communication device retransmits the first data package from the first to the second portable communication device for at the most N times if the first data package belongs to the first packet category; N being a positive integer between 1 and 4.

Method of exchanging data packages between first and second portable communication devices

The present disclosure relates in a first aspect to a method of exchanging data packages between a first portable communication device and a second portable communication device over a bi-directional wireless communication channel, where at least one of the first and second portable communication devices comprises a hearing instrument. The method comprises generating, by the first portable communication device, a plurality of data packages over time and transmitting the plurality of data packages from the first to the second portable communication device through a plurality of spaced apart frequency bands distributed across a predetermined radio frequency range of the bi-directional wireless communication channel. The method further comprises computing, at the first wireless communication device or at the second wireless communication device, respective transmission quality estimators of the plurality of spaced apart frequency bands and determining a favored frequency band based on the detected transmission quality estimators.
