Claim 10:
11. A method, comprising:
providing a housing that includes an aperture extending through the housing;
positioning an insulator in the aperture in the housing, wherein the insulator comprises a plurality of feedthrough pins extending through the insulator, and wherein the plurality of feedthrough pins include a first feedthrough pin, a second feedthrough pin, and at least one ground feedthrough pin;
hermetically joining the insulator to the housing;
forming a conductive electrical shielding member at an outer surface of the insulator that is external to the housing at a location between the first and second feedthrough pins and is configured to electrically shield the first feedthrough pin from signals associated with the second feedthrough pin;
insulating the conductive electrical shielding member from the first and second feedthrough pins; and
encapsulating the housing, the insulator, the plurality of feedthrough pins, and the conductive electrical shielding member in a biocompatible elastomer layer.
