WhatsApp Us A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted neuroprosthetic device that helps in hearing an individual who is deaf or hard of hearing.
One part of the implant sits behind the ear, and the other is surgically fitted under the skin.
Implantation of cochlear implants is performed under general anaesthesia.
The surgeon makes an incision behind the ear to access the cochlea to place the electrodes and the receiver under the skin behind the ear. The surgeon then sutures the wound.

Preoperative diagnostic tests cost (Hearing test, MRI or CT imaging tests, etc.)
Surgery cost (depends on the type of implant)
