Claim 11:
12. The cochlear implant system of claim 1, wherein:
the cochlear electrode comprises a second contact electrode;
the stimulator comprises a second source element in electrical communication with the second contact electrode and configured to emit an electrical current to the second contact electrode; and
the one or more controllers are further configured to:
apply a second initial compliance voltage to the second source element;
cause the stimulator to emit a second predetermined electrical current from the second source element to the return electrode via a second current path;
determine a third voltage, the third voltage corresponding to a voltage at the second contact electrode relative to a reference voltage;
determine a fourth voltage, the fourth voltage corresponding to a voltage at the return electrode relative to the reference voltage;
determine a second impedance associated with the second current path based on the determined third voltage, the determined fourth voltage, and the second predetermined electrical current emitted from the second source element; and
determine a second compliance voltage for the second source element based on the determined second impedance and a second prescribed current for the second source element.
