The present invention regards a hearing device comprising a power source, a control unit, a power source charge state monitoring unit, a timing unit, and an output unit. The hearing device is configured to be worn on or at an ear of a user. The power source is configured to power the hearing device. The power source charge state monitoring unit is configured to monitor the charge state of the power source by determining a current output voltage value of the power source. The timing unit is configured to measure a duration between two points in time. The output unit is configured to generate output sounds corresponding to electrical sound signals. The control unit is configured to activate a low-energy warning mode, if the current output voltage value determined by the power source charge state monitoring unit is below a predetermined threshold output voltage value of the power source. The control unit is further configured to adjust the predetermined threshold output voltage value in dependence of a duration of the low-energy warning mode. The control unit operating in the low-energy warning mode is configured to generate electrical low-energy warning signals. The output unit is configured to generate output stimuli perceived by the user as sounds corresponding to the electrical low-energy warning signals and/or to transmit such output sounds and/or signals indicating low energy warning signals to another device.
