Abstract
A system may include a unit for capturing signals induced at electrodes of an electrode array in response to stimulation of a cochlea by applying auditory nerve stimulation signals to the electrodes; a memory unit for storing the captured signals and/or data derived from the captured signals; and an electrode migration detection unit for detecting electrode migration relative to the cochlea by comparing presently captured signals and/or data derived from such presently captured signals to stored previously captured signals and/or data derived from such previously captured signals.
