Proprietary Protocols: These are protocols specific to a particular manufacturer.There are a number of protocols that are used in hearing aid technology today.

In the same way the English language uses letters to convey the information, the Bluetooth 'language' (or protocol) uses 2.4 GHz to communicate information. Another analogy we can use is to compare the 2.4 GHz as being a highway, and Bluetooth is a mode of transportation (e.g., the car, bus, or taxi) that helps get the information along the highway from one destination to another. Similarly, French, Spanish, Dutch, and German are other languages or protocols that use the Latin alphabet to encode and communicate information. The English language uses the ABCs, and English is a standard communication protocol that uses the Latin alphabet. The alphabet is a set of letters used to encode information to share between people. We can think about 2.4 GHz as the Latin alphabet, or the ABCs. Bluetooth protocols use the 2.4 GHz as the method to transmit or communicate that language between the devices. It's a 'language' that lets multiple devices talk to each other wirelessly. Bluetooth is a standard wireless communication protocol. Let's define these terms, how they relate to hearing aids in general, and how they relate directly to Moxi All.įirst, you may be wondering if 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth are the same thing, as you may have heard people use these terms interchangeably. Unitron uses this same Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile to make phones work directly with the Moxi All hearing instruments. In the hearing aid industry we are using terms such as direct connectivity, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz. Almost all phones made in the last 10 years have something called the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile that can be used for phone calls with Bluetooth headsets.

Great question, let's talk about the technology behind hands-free solutions. Question How does Unitron Moxi All incorporate Bluetooth technology and 2.4 GHz for a hands-free solution? What is the difference between the two? Answer

Wifi vs bluetooth headphone
