Exclusive offers of the Medincus Hearing and Speech Center in Poland
Medincus clinics offer a range of services that are unique or available only in a few medical centers in the world. The main ones are listed below.
SPPS (Stimulation of Polymodal Perceptual Systems)
This is an innovative method of hearing therapy developed by Polish scientists from the Hearing and Speech Center in cooperation with the Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing in Warsaw. It is based on the psycho-audio-linguistic method of Professor Henryk Skarzynski and is aimed at activating several sensory systems: hearing, vision and touch.
The method is effective in disorders associated with the central processing of auditory information and is used in the following cases:
- delayed speech development;
- articulation disorders;
- stuttering;
- difficulty understanding speech;
- difficulty reading and writing;
- voice disorders;
- decreased concentration of auditory attention;
- problems in learning foreign languages and others.
Therapy sessions stimulate the perception and processing of sounds, improving language communication, and overall sensory integration. The method is available for both children and adults, ensuring progress in eliminating speech and hearing disorders.
Fully implantable Mi2000 system
Mi2000 is a revolutionary technology in the field of hearing implants. Medincus Hearing and Speech Center was one of the first in the world (after Belgium and Germany) to successfully implant this device. Unlike traditional cochlear implants, consisting of an external sound processor and an internal implant, Mi2000 is completely placed under the skin. This eliminates problems with damage to external devices, discomfort, and aesthetic inconvenience.
SENTIO middle ear hearing implant
Poland has become the third country in the world after the USA and Germany to perform SENTIO implant surgeries. This state-of-the-art solution, certified in July 2024, is designed for patients with conductive and mixed hearing loss, as well as single-sided deafness.
SENTIO is the most compact middle ear hearing implant using bone conduction. It allows for hearing restoration in patients with anatomical, post-inflammatory, or post-traumatic ear damage.
OSIA 3 Middle Ear Hearing Implant
OSIA 3 is an active transcutaneous bone conduction hearing aid that uses piezoelectric stimulation to transmit sound through the middle ear bone to the inner ear.
OSIA 3 technology provides high power at high frequencies, improving speech perception even in noisy environments. Thanks to magnetic technology, the implant is compatible with 1.5 and 3 Tesla MRI, removing the limitations that patients previously faced.

Diagnosis: deafness
Hello, I had a second surgery on November 23, 2024 as I suffer from otosclerosis. The care both before and after the operation was of the highest level. Prof. H. Skarzyński is a real miracle worker, he took me out of the world of silence, because I was completely deaf. The place is like a fairy tale. I would also like to express my special gratitude to Dr. R. Zudejko from Opole. Cudejko from Opole, where we go for treatment.

This is not the first time we have visited this clinic and every time the care is top notch.
We have been to many facilities with our daughter, but only here she is not afraid to come back, and even likes to come! ☺️❤️
The nurses are incredibly kind, smiling and always ready to help.
And Professors Henryk and Piotr Skarzyński are angels with a huge heart!
If there was such care everywhere, children would not be afraid of doctors!
A huge THANK YOU for everything!
Regular patient Nicole from Olsztyn with her family! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Diagnosis: ear drainage
My child had an ear drainage and tonsil removal. I was informed about everything at every stage, the doctors, nurses and all the staff were professional, polite and competent. I felt in safe hands and I think it is a great place to be. The rooms are comfortable, the food is delicious, and at any time I could ask for help or advice. Almost like a vacation! 😉

Diagnosis: maxillary sinus clearing and balloon dilatation of the eustachian tube
I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Gvizdalska for the professionally performed surgery for maxillary sinus clearing and balloon dilatation of the eustachian tube.
I am writing such a positive review also because I once underwent a similar operation, and the difference in postoperative sensations is huge – the absence of tamponade made the recovery absolutely comfortable, without any traumatic experiences.
I highly appreciate all the staff I encountered, especially the kind and helpful nurses and staff of the department, as well as doctors.
The conditions of stay were excellent – cleanliness, proper nutrition, and most importantly, I observed an incredibly caring and warm attitude to children on the part of the staff. Conversations with young patients were filled with kindness.
I received detailed recommendations, which of course I am following.
My review concerns the MEDINCUS hospital in Kaetani.
Regards, Marek O.

Diagnosis: deafness
The care at Medincus Hospital is top notch!
The nurses and staff are incredibly friendly, caring and empathic towards the young patients and their parents.
We were kept informed of everything at every stage of our stay and provided comprehensive care during this stressful time.
The doctors are the best of the best, the medical care is top notch.
My son was prepared for the surgery without stress, I could be with him until the very last moment before the procedure and immediately after. The child’s lack of stress accelerated his recovery.
The whole process from consultation to surgery and discharge was perfectly organized.
Very grateful to the doctors, nurses and all the staff for the wonderful care!

Diagnosis: deafness
I recommend a visit to Iwona Zarzycka, hearing care specialist.
She welcomed my mom, an elderly woman with severe hearing loss, very warmly and matched her with the right hearing aids and earmolds.
Iwona explained everything from start to finish, slowly, calmly and in a way that was age-appropriate. Mom had had negative experiences with previous hearing aids and was initially skeptical about the new devices.
In the end she was satisfied and happy that everything worked and her quality of life improved.

Diagnosis: ear drainage
This place is not associated with a hospital at all.
Great organization, wonderful care, incredibly friendly staff.
From the intake, then the entire surgery procedure, follow-up care and discharge – everything was just perfect.
If anyone ever needs tonsil surgery or ear drainage for a child, I would recommend the clinic in Cayetans 😊 from the bottom of my heart.

Diagnosis: deafness
Despite the unequivocally negative experience with my child’s hearing aid at one of the Medincus branches and the general very mass approach characteristic of this network, I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Iwona Tomaszewska-Gert as a technician who performs night ABR examinations at the patient’s home in Świętokrzyskie and Mazowieckie voivodeships. She is a very dedicated specialist, a kind, patient person and always gives advice to the best of her knowledge. She pays special attention to the well-being of a small patient, who is not just a “client” for her.

Diagnosis: Tinnitus
I have Tinnitus and the answers I got there are the same of my phones apps, hearing loss and tinnitus.
I spent 495 pln for the consultation plus 285 for two test.
Doctor looked at the hearing test result and said: just like in your app!
For that money they don’t even offer an expresso 😂.
At the end the doctor talks about three options for treating Tinnitus, one is the hearing aids, another is something you put in your ears for stimulation and the third is Lenire, and tongue stimulator.
The hearings aids are only white noise, you can easily find white noise at different frequencies on YouTube, but if you prefer the aids, they costs 7k pln EACH!!!
I tested the hearing aids and honestly it’s a pathetic option, at least for my case! They let you take it for 10 days to test it, but I gave up when I saw the price. Truth is that it won’t cure or reverse Tinnitus, is much more likely that it go away, in parts, by itself.
Oh by the way, I had a visit schedule at 5pm and still there was about three people in front of me, but that didn’t take more than 15 minutes.
Along with Tinnitus I have a lot of headaches, but the doctor didn’t prescribe anything to me (Donuta).
To sum up, if you have tinnitus I believe a regular laryngologist should do the job.

Diagnosis: deafness
I read a lot of reviews and don’t understand what they are talking about. The center is great, everything is prompt, clear and patient-centered. I contacted the international department. I was scheduled for a consultation and surgery. At the appointed time, I was operated on.
Commentators do not look at what they leave for the private clinic Medincus when talking about the international speech hearing center.
There was a man (a Pole) in the ward with me, and he said that he had surgery at Medincus, not at the state center, because there were very long queues.
