We help you choose a clinic and an ENT surgeon for cochlear implantation for children and adults. First the doctor reviews your hearing test results, then you compare programs from clinics in Turkey.
A cochlear implant is an electronic device that helps people hear when they have severe hearing loss or deafness and hearing aids no longer help. The internal part is placed in the cochlea of the inner ear and stimulates the auditory nerve, while the speech processor is worn behind the ear.
Cochlear prosthetics in Turkey is performed by specialized ENT surgeons. The decision to operate is made after hearing tests and scans of the temporal bones. For children it is important not to delay the assessment: the earlier a child starts to hear, the easier it is to learn to speak. We help you get the clinic doctor's opinion before you travel, compare programs and arrange treatment.
The result depends on age, how long the hearing loss has lasted, the condition of the auditory nerve and rehabilitation after surgery. Whether implantation is indicated is decided by the ENT surgeon after examination.
Not sure whether implantation is right for you or your child? Send us the hearing test results - an ENT surgeon will review them before your trip.

The main condition for effective treatment of hearing loss is a quick response. If the child is under 3 years old, there is a much greater chance of restoring hearing and promoting the correct formation of speech centers.
After cochlear implantation (CI), he will be able to hear and learn to speak correctly.
Elderly people deserve no less attention. After 50 years, many people experience hearing loss. This not only causes a deterioration in the quality of life, but can also lead to social paranoia, cause causeless aggression, and prolonged depression.
Cochlear implantation abroad can be a solution to hearing problems. It allows the patient to return to a normal healthy life, become a socially active person, and experience joy from communication, study or work.
CI is an irreversible process of implanting an implant into the cochlea of the inner ear. A compact electronic device that transmits received information by stimulating auditory nerve cells in the form of an impulse to the brain. The second one is attached behind the ear. Thanks to the prosthesis, a feeling of natural hearing is created.
The operation is not performed on all patients with hearing problems. The main indications for prosthetics are:
After surgery, patients can fully adapt to normal existence. For some patients, CI is the only opportunity to learn to hear speech, music and other sounds.
CI installation is not recommended if:
Important to remember! For effective adaptation, a patient with an implant must undergo a training program, which takes six months or more (depending on the initial condition).
Today, one of the most progressive centers providing treatment for hearing loss abroad is the Acibadem Medical Center. This is the leading clinic in Turkey, which performs cochlear implantation in children and adults according to the American system. On average, the operation lasts up to 6 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
A rehabilitation program of sessions with a speech therapist and teacher of the deaf is prescribed for each patient individually. It is recommended for a period of up to 2 years. Over time, the number of classes will decrease, and the quality of hearing will improve.
Important! The operation of the device must be tested at least once a year. If CI centers are available, adjustments can be carried out in your home country.
Over the past decade, medicine in Turkey has developed rapidly due to investments in equipment and education of doctors and medical personnel. In addition to the high level of medical care, Turkish centers are in demand due to their more affordable prices (compared to hearing loss treatment in Israel or Germany).
There are other advantages of surgery at Acibadem Hospital:
Experts Medical helps you to select a clinic and doctor, to organize treatment and support after surgery, and also it provides assistance in obtaining financial support for cochlear implantation (in the amount of 10 000 euros). The patient is provided with a free interpreter, transfer, escort, booking of accommodation and air tickets (with an 80% discount upon agreement with the airline) and other organizational issues.
Additionally, we provide the possibility of unhindered communication with the surgeon before and after treatment.
