BackgroundIn cochlear implants, the hybrid common ground is a combination of a classic monopolarstimulation with a standard common ground. This new stimulation montage allows the current toreturn from both the non-stimulating electrodes on the electrode array and the reference electrodeplaced between the skull and scalp. In theory, this lead to...

Oticon Medical cochlear implants use a stimulation mode called Distributed All-Polar (DAP) that connects all non-stimulating available intracochlear electrodes and an extracochlear reference electrode. It results in a complex distribution of current that is yet undescribed. The present study aims at providing a first characterization of this...
