This package features a Cochlear KANSO2-500 Series implant with included sound processor for a transparent all-inclusive price. Professor Yavuz Selim Yildirim, dual-board certified with European FEBORL-HNS and American FACS credentials, performs the surgery. He uses electroacoustic stimulation and soft surgery techniques to minimize trauma. The procedure costs around $21,890 at the JCI-accredited Hisar Hospital Intercontinental. That covers the device, MRI/CT imaging, a 2-night hospital stay, VIP transfers, and a dedicated translator.
Prof. Dr. Salim Yuce, with 25+ years of ENT expertise and advanced training from the House Ear Institute, performs the minimally invasive procedure. The all-inclusive package, priced at approximately $21,600, covers the cochlear implant for one ear, a bilateral hearing aid, full diagnostic imaging, and a 10-day integrated program with 3 days of hospitalization and 7 days of hotel stay – both allowing a companion. Treatment at the JCI-accredited Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital includes VIP transfers and interpreter services for international patients.
The package includes $30,000 of complication insurance for post-operative protection. Prof. Dr. Serkan Orhan, a university professor with Netherlands training, selects the optimal COCHLEAR or MEDEL device based on the patient's CT/MRI and hearing tests. The procedure at the JCI-accredited Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital costs around $31,000. This fee covers the diagnostic scans, 2 days of hospitalization where one companion may stay, and medical report translation.
Dr. Engin Acioglu, who has performed 900+ ENT procedures, offers a cochlear implant placement with a personalized evaluation. The comprehensive diagnostic package includes TMJ CT and MRI imaging for precise pre-operative planning. This streamlined program at the JCI-accredited Memorial Ataşehir Hospital requires only one night of hospitalization. The approximate cost of $25,000 covers the implant placement, all pre-operative tests, the hospital stay with medications, and the first follow-up consultation.
This operation helps restore hearing by replacing a tiny bone in the ear with a prosthetic.

MARCO MARTINEZ CONTRERAS • Cochlear implant placement
Mexico
Oct 6, 2024
Verified review.
I am pleasantly surprised and grateful to everyone who took care of me
Excellent experience. I traveled from Mexico to have cochlear implant surgery. First of all, I found this hospital thanks to the attention of Bookimed, they attended me very well, got the best option and started the whole process.
At the beginning I was obviously a little bit afraid that everything was real and correct and with good results, it was the first time I used this kind of medical tourism. I searched many countries and options and found the best deal through Bookimed at Hisar Hospital in Istanbul at the best price. Now that it's all over, I am pleasantly surprised and grateful to everyone who took care of me. I am impressed with how well they have organized everything for international patients. From the transportation, to the airport-hotel-airport, hotel-hospital-hotel, in all the appointments I had, more than 3 times in two weeks. The international department assigned me one and sometimes two translators, all were very well behaved, Dr. Yabuz Selim very attentive and professional, the hospital was excellent, the package included two nights accommodation in a room with two rooms, and meals for patient and companion. Pre-operative studies, post-operative follow-up, and only the agreed amount was paid from the beginning, not a dollar more we had to pay. I had never had this experience in a hospital before. The whole procedure was fast and without complications, they checked me 3 more times without any problem. They helped me resolve all my doubts and concerns, always with excellent response through whatsapp. I sincerely recommend and thank everyone involved in Hisar Hospital. I hope I never have to go back, but if I need to, I will not even look elsewhere.
Everything was excellent. It exceeded my expectations by far.
