1. A method for stimulating tissue, comprising:

  • transmitting acoustic energy and signal information using an acoustic controller-transmitter;

    receiving said acoustic energy and signal information by an implantable acoustic receiver-stimulator having electrode assembly adapted to be in direct contact with the tissue;

    converting the received acoustic energy to electrical energy by the receiver-stimulator to provide electrical stimulation output to the tissue;

    sensing the electrical stimulation output of the receiver-stimulator using one or more sensors disposed on an external surface of the controller-transmitter, andadjusting acoustic transmission from the acoustic controller-transmitter based on the sensed electrical stimulation output in order to compensate for changes in the electrical stimulation output.
