Multi-electrode cochlear implant system with distributed electronics

摘要

An implantable tissue-stimulating device comprising a carrier member having a plurality of electrodes (11) mounted thereon, and at least one signal transmitting wire (13) extending through at least a portion of the carrier member and adapted to transmit signals through the carrier member to and/or from the electrodes (11). The number of wires (13) within the carrier member is less than the number of electrodes (11) mounted thereon.
