1. A stimulation system comprising: an implantable cochlear stimulator comprising: a pulse generator that generates electrical stimulation pulses as defined by control signals; and an intracochlear electrode array adapted to be inserted into a patient's cochlea and provide electrical stimulation pulses, comprising both auditory stimulation pulses based on audio information and balance stimulation pulses based on balance information, to the patient's auditory nerve based on the control signals; at least one microphone configured to sense and provide audio information; at least one balance sensor configured to sense and provide the balance information; and at least one processor configured to generate the control signals in response to the sensory information provided by the at least one microphone and the balance information provided by the at least one balance sensor, such that non-auditory stimulation comprising the balance stimulation pulses are provided within the cochlea for indirectly providing electrical stimulation pulses to at least one of a patient's vestibular nerve, end organs, or neural elements.
