About COCHLEAR IMPLANT
Connecting you with India’s leading specialists in these medical fields
The cochlea is a spiral-shaped part of the inner ear that helps with hearing. A cochlear condition refers to damage or problems affecting it, leading to hearing loss.
• Congenital or acquired profound hearing loss
• Bilateral or unilateral deafness
• Failed benefit from hearing aids
• Pediatric and adult cochlear implantation
Surgical placement of a cochlear implant in one ear to help restore hearing in individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who do not benefit from hearing aids.
- Restores functional hearing in one deaf ear.
- Improves speech understanding, especially in quiet environments.
- Boosts quality of life by improving communication and reducing social isolation.
- Doesn’t restore normal hearing — only improves sound perception.
- Requires lifelong follow-up and speech therapy, especially in children.
- High initial cost (surgery + device + therapy).
Category | Cost (USD) | Cost (KES) |
Surgery + Device | $15,000 – $25,000 | KSh 1.95M – 3.25M |
Post-op Rehab & Mapping | $1,000 – $2,000 | KSh 130K – 260K |
Total Estimate | $16,000 – $27,000 | KSh 2.08M – 3.51M |
Surgical implantation of cochlear devices in both ears to treat profound hearing loss, improving the ability to hear from both sides — ideal for children or adults who do not benefit from hearing aids.
- Better sound localization (knowing where sounds come from).
- Improved speech understanding in noisy environments.
- Balanced hearing experience from both ears.
- Higher cost than unilateral implants.
- More intensive surgery & recovery, especially in young children.
- Ongoing rehabilitation is needed for full benefit in both ears.
Category | Cost (USD) | Cost (KES) |
Surgery + 2 Devices | $28,000 – $45,000 | KSh 3.65M – 5.85M |
Post-op Rehab & Mapping | $1,500 – $3,000 | KSh 195K – 390K |
Total Estimate | $29,500 – $48,000 | KSh 3.85M – 6.24M |
Some hospitals offer discounted pediatric bilateral implant packages. Pre-evaluation and speech therapy are critical for outcomes.
A combination hearing system that uses a cochlear implant for high frequencies and a hearing aid for low frequencies, ideal for patients with partial hearing loss who still have usable low-frequency hearing.
- Preserves natural hearing in lower frequencies.
- Better sound quality and speech clarity, especially in music and group conversations.
- Less invasive than full cochlear implants for suitable candidates.
- Not suitable for all types of hearing loss (mainly for partial hearing).
- Technology is still evolving; limited long-term data compared to traditional implants.
- Costly and may require more fine-tuning during rehabilitation.
