An exemplary hearing device includes a first sensor, a second sensor, an audio processing component, and a power management processor. The power management processor may be configured to determine, while the hearing device is in a first low power mode, that the first sensor detects a first state change associated with the hearing device, direct, based on the first sensor detecting the first state change, the hearing device to enter a second low power mode in which the second sensor is active and the audio processing component is inactive, determine, while the hearing device is in the second low power mode, that the second sensor detects a second state change associated with the hearing device, and direct, based on the second sensor detecting the second state change, the hearing device to enter a full power mode in which the audio processing component is active.

Hearing devices and methods for implementing automatic sensor-based on/off control of a hearing device

An interface device () is provided, adapted to wirelessly couple at least one hearing device to a cellular phone (), wherein the interface device () is adapted to be mechanically coupled to the cellular phone () by means a cellular phone protection shell ().

A wireless audio device includes an audio streaming unit to wirelessly transmit an audio signal to a remote hearing device such as a hearing aid or a cochlear implant. A remote control unit to wirelessly controls the remote hearing device, a battery monitor determines a power level of a battery and provides a battery state signal indicative of the power level of the battery. A power management unit deactivates the audio streaming unit when the battery state signal reaches or falls below a first threshold and deactivates the remote control unit when the battery state signal reaches or falls below a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is higher than the second threshold. Also described is a method of operating such a wireless audio device as well as a hearing system including such a wireless audio device and a remote hearing device, such as a hearing aid or a cochlear implant.
