Abstract
An electrode array for use with a cochlear implant is disclosed, which has electrodes selectively spaced to better target selected regions of the cochlea. In one form, the spacing between adjacent electrodes decreases towards an apical end of the array allowing the electrodes to better target receptors on the inner wall of the scala timpani of the cochlea.
