Measurement of electrical impedance can give useful information about the status of individual electrode of a cochlear implant. In this respect, low impedance measurements may suggest a short circuit in a particular electrode. On the other hand, high impedance values may show a broken electrode wire or an electrode in contact with air . It has been reported that the interface between the cochlear implant electrode and the spiral ganglion cells is critical to the passage of information via electrical stimulation [2, . It has been shown that passage of electrical current through a tissue medium was governed by stimulus parameters such as current, voltage, stimulus width, the particular characteristics of the electrode surface and the nature of the medium through which the electrical current is passed. The principal transmission effect measured clinically is impedance, i.e., the measure of resistance to the flow of electrical current through any particular medium . The impedance of an electrode reflects the electrical status of the electrode and its adjacent tissue environment .
