The cost of cochlear implant placement in Spain typically ranges from $20,200 to $40,000. Prices can vary depending on the implant brand (such as Cochlear, MED-EL, or Advanced Bionics), the surgeon’s experience, and whether the procedure is unilateral or bilateral. In the United States, the average cost is $60,000 (per AAO-HNS). This means cochlear implant surgery in Spain can be about 50% less than in the U.S.
Spanish clinics usually include pre-operative assessment, the surgical procedure, the implant device, anesthesia, a short hospital stay, and initial programming and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgery and device, with separate charges for pre-op tests, anesthesia, and post-op programming. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
