1. An implantable medical device, comprising:
a hermetically-sealed biocompatible housing configured to be implanted in a recipient;
an insulator extending through the housing, wherein the insulator comprises an outer surface that is external to the housing;
a first feedthrough pin extending through the insulator and configured to carry first signals between a first functional component external to the housing and electronics within the housing;
a second feedthrough pin extending through the insulator configured to carry second signals between a second functional component external to the housing and the electronics within the housing; and
a conductive electrical shielding member positioned on the outer surface of the insulator between the first and second feedthrough pins, wherein the conductive electrical shielding member is configured to provide a grounding barrier between the first and second feedthrough pins to electrically shield the first feedthrough pin from the second signals and is insulated from the first and second feedthrough pins.
