The cost of cochlear implant placement in Germany typically ranges from $30,000 to $45,000. Prices vary depending on the implant brand (such as Cochlear, MED-EL, or Advanced Bionics), the hospital, surgeon expertise, and whether one or both ears are treated. In the United States, the average cost is $60,000 (according to AAO-HNS). Cochlear implant surgery in Germany can be about 38% less than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op assessments, the cochlear implant device, surgery under general anesthesia, hospital stay, initial activation, and follow-up programming. In the U.S., the device, surgery, anesthesia, and post-op programming are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each clinic or hospital.
