User interfaces of a hearing device

A method, comprising:

• determining, by at least one processor of an external unit of a hearing device, whether a state of the external unit is one of (i) a coupled state when the external unit and an implantable stimulation unit of the hearing device are coupled or (ii) a decoupled state when the external unit and the implantable stimulation unit are decoupled, wherein the external unit comprises a capacitive-touch device and a plurality of visual-output components;
• when the determined state is the coupled state, providing, by the external unit via at least one of the plurality of visual-output components, an at least first visual display;
• when the determined state is the decoupled state, providing, by the external unit via the at least one of the plurality of visual-output components, an at least second visual display that is different from the at least first visual display;
• receiving, via the capacitive-touch device, at least one user input;
• changing at least one operation of the external unit in response to receiving the at least one user input;
• and
• activating one or more of the plurality of visual-output components to indicate the change in the at least one operation of the external unit.
