Cover Story: Some cochlear implant users show unexplained fluctuating/rising electrode impedances, which counterintuitively decrease during rest and increase with stimulation. Stable impedances in inactive electrodes suggest that the cochlear environment is not solely responsible. The impedance decrease during rest offers a chance to study impedance subcomponents, revealing that spikes correlate with increased near-field and Faradaic resistance, and decreased Warburg capacitance. View this paper
