Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a method for charging a rechargeable battery ( 5 ) of a hearing aid ( 1 ). The proposed method comprises detecting a power supply ( 8 ) being connected to the hearing aid ( 1 ), estimating a state of charge of the battery ( 5 ), selecting one of at least a normal and a fast charging mode in dependence of the estimated state of charge, and charging the battery ( 5 ) according to the selected charging mode. Moreover, the present invention provides a hearing aid ( 1 ) including a battery charging unit ( 9 ) and adapted to support the proposed method.

Claim (Index 37):
The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 36 , wherein fast charging is terminated upon determining that the present state of charge of the rechargeable battery exceeds a third predefined threshold level of the state of charge comprised in the one or more predefined criteria, the rechargeable battery capacity associated with the third predefined threshold level of the state of charge in particular being sufficient to power the hearing device for a time period within the range from 1 to 2 hours.
