Abstract:
A method performed by an electronic controller includes determining a charge level of a power supply configured to provide power to a medical device, and estimating, based on the charge level of the power supply, a first power supply life for operating the medical device according to a first mode. Further, the method includes estimating, based on the charge level of the power supply, a second power supply life for operating the medical device according to a second mode. As recited, operating the medical device according to the first mode has a different power use or consumption characteristic from operating the medical device according to the second mode. The method also includes generating a notification indicative of the first power supply life and the second power supply life.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the medical device is a hearing prosthesis comprising an external unit and an implantable unit, wherein the external unit comprises a first microphone and a first sound processor and the implantable unit comprises a second microphone and a second sound processor, and wherein in the first mode the hearing prosthesis is configured to receive sound signals via the first microphone and to process the sound signals with the first sound processor, and wherein in the second mode the hearing prosthesis is configured to receive sound signals via only the second microphone and to process the sound signals with only the second sound processor.
