A method generating electrical stimuli by an auditory prosthesis (1；1'；1")including an array of stimulation devices in response to an incoming acousticsignal, the method including determining stimulation devices to be activatedwithin the array and activation times for those electrodes； and applying atemporal adjustment (12) to the activation times such that activation ofelectrodes representing lower-amplitude components of the signal is delayedrelative to activation of a proximate device representing a higher-amplitudecomponent of the signal.
