What Is the Cost of a Cochlear Implant in India?
The cost of Cochlear Implantation in India typically ranges from $1,500 to $7,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.
A cochlear implant is an electronic device that stimulates the hearing nerve. It is for severe to profound deafness. The cost depends on:
- Device brand and model: the largest part of the cost.
- One or both ears
- Assessment: hearing tests and scans.
- Rehabilitation: switch-on, mapping and therapy.
The implant device is a large part of the total. A quote near this range may not include the device, so ask what it covers.
Who Is Eligible?
NICE (TA566) recommends cochlear implants for people who:
- Hear only very loud sounds: above 80 dB at two or more frequencies in both ears.
- Do not benefit enough from hearing aids: after a trial of at least three months.
- Have a full assessment: by a specialist team.
