The application relates to a cochlear implant assembly. An exemplary cochlear implant assembly includes a cochlear implant configured to apply electrical stimulation to a subject through an electrode array; a cochlear implant antenna communicatively coupled to the cochlear implant; and an encapsulant covering the cochlear implant and the cochlear implant antenna, the encapsulant impregnated with a dielectric material configured to limit an electric field around the cochlear implant antenna. A corresponding method for manufacturing a cochlear implant assembly is also described.
