1. A method for sending data in a hearing aid system, comprising:
- assigning a priority for a send operation based on an operational function of the data to be sent;
assembling a data packet with a length, the length being a function of the assigned priority; and
sending the data packet.

Abstract
An energy-saving communication is made available in a hearing aid system. For this purpose the individual communication participants are given different priorities, by using data packets of variable length in the communication. The longer data packets of higher priority prevail when the transmission requests of lower priority are paused as long as the communication channel is busy. In this manner a suitable communication can be structured in a hearing aid system comprising, for example, of two hearing aids and a remote control.
