What is presented herein is a technique for determining an estimated battery autonomy (e.g., estimated run time) of a medical device having at least one actuator / transducer configured to mechanically stimulate a recipient. The medical device is specifically configured for the recipient and, as such, operates according to a plurality of recipient-specific settings. The configuration of the medical device for the recipient (e.g., the plurality of recipient-specific settings) as well as the frequency and sound level current consumption characteristics of the medical device are used to determine the estimated battery autonomy of the medical device. An environmental profile of the recipient can also be used along with the configuration of the medical device for the recipient as well as the frequency and sound level current consumption characteristics of the medical device to determine the estimated battery autonomy.
