The Sonova Binaural Protocol used to communicate
between hearing instruments meets a Quality of Service
of a frame error rate (FER) of 1.6% to maintain good audio
quality.
All Bluetooth-related features of the product such as
HFP, A2DP, and BLE services meet Quality of Service
requirements that are determined by the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG).
Wireless Safety
Wireless Safety Measures have been put into place for the
Sonova proprietary protocols:
A proprietary network protocol which creates and
•
manage the devices in the network.
A unique binaural group ID programmed to the
•
processor and its accessories at fitting time for SBP
which is validated during each transmission.
A unique pairing key established at pairing time for DM
•
devices which is validated during transmission
A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) which ensures the
•
integrity of remote-control and audio data.
A system architecture that isolates the processor's
•
critical functionality of stimulation parameters from the
wireless functionality.
Bluetooth safety features have been implemented
according to the Bluetooth SIG requirements and tested
according to those specifications.
