An electrode assembly for a cochlear lead is configured to stimulate an auditory nerve from within a cochlea. The electrode assembly includes a conductive support structure for supporting an electrode and having two wings that are folded toward each other to form a wire carrier for a bundle of wires of the cochlear lead and at least one of the wings comprising a tab extending from that wing along a longitudinal axis of the cochlear lead to inhibit twisting of the cochlear lead.
