1. A method of low-power communication for a hearing system that includes a hearing implant associated with a first ear of a user, the hearing system further including an external signal processor, the method comprising:

  • transmitting pulses by one of the hearing implant and the external signal processor;

    receiving the pulses at an input to a time-gated amplifier of the other one of the hearing implant and the external signal processor, the amplifier for amplifying the pulses received at the input; and

    synchronizing turning on of the time-gated amplifier with the possible receipt of transmitted pulses based, at least in part, on a transmitted pulse received at the input.
