Mid-Scala Electrode Array In May 2013, Advanced Bionics commercially released the HiFocus Mid-Scala electrode array in the United States. , near the modiolus, which is on the medial wall of the cochlea and is in close proximity to the auditory nerve fibers) versus lateral wall electrode arrays (which lie away from the medial wall, under the basilar membrane). The overall prevailing themes are fairly straightforward. Specifically, a perimodiolar array should require less electrical current to facilitate a response from the auditory nerve and thereby require less power to achieve a given loudness percept.
