Ear implant and stimulation electrode for an ear implant

The present invention relates to an ear implant, and a stimulation electrode for a Ohrimplantat.Es is the object of the present invention to provide an ear implant and to provide a stimulation electrode for an ear implant, which prevent unwanted displacement of the frequencies of excitation centers and receptors despite imprecise positioning of the stimulating electrode in the cochlea and thus a more advantageous hearing impression allow kann.Dazu is a stimulation electrode (1) of an ear implant is formed in a first mode, the stimulation elements (8) of a first group (G1) of the stimulation elements (8) each with different excitation frequencies excite, wherein the stimulation electrode ( 1) is formed in a second mode, a second group (G2) of stimulation elements (8) to excite different excitation frequencies, wherein the number of stimulation elements (8) of the first group (G1) is greater than the number of stimulation selemente (8) of the second group (G2), and wherein a a first segment (21) nearest stimulation element (8) of the second group (G2) nearest a higher frequency than the second portion (22) stimulation member (8) of the second group (G2) is excited, and wherein the said first portion (21) closest stimulation element (8) of the first group (G1) different from the said second portion (22) nearest stimulation element (8) of the second group (G2).
