Medical and surgical management of chronic vertigo, tinnitus, Meniere's disease, and sensorineural hearing loss — including cochlear implants and vestibular rehabilitation — delivered by specialist audiologists and ENT surgeons. Patients from Africa and the Middle East frequently travel to India, Turkey, and Morocco for high-quality audiology care at a fraction of home-country costs.
Your case is matched to a centre on the basis of clinical outcome data, not marketing. We coordinate every step — from pre-operative work-up to post-treatment follow-up — with a dedicated care coordinator.

This treatment category covers several different operations with different levels of invasiveness, recovery times, and costs. The country averages above blend all of them together — use the breakdown below for a more realistic, procedure-specific estimate.
A surgically implanted electronic device that bypasses damaged parts of the inner ear to stimulate the hearing nerve directly, restoring useful sound perception for severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss that hearing aids can no longer help. This treatment has its own dedicated treatment page with fuller detail on candidacy, device options, and mapping — this row is a brief summary in the context of the wider vertigo and hearing loss category.
Typical recovery · 2–4 weeks
Surgery is usually done under general anesthesia with a 1–2 night hospital stay; the device is switched on and programmed ("mapped") 2–4 weeks after surgery once initial swelling has settled, followed by a period of auditory rehabilitation to learn to interpret the new signal.

A structured, exercise-based therapy program — not a single procedure — in which a vestibular-trained physical or occupational therapist prescribes gaze-stabilization, balance, and habituation exercises to retrain the brain to compensate for inner-ear balance dysfunction causing chronic dizziness or unsteadiness.
Typical recovery · 6–8 week course
Delivered as weekly supervised sessions over a typical course of 6–8 weeks, combined with daily home exercises; some patients improve after just one or two sessions, while more persistent balance disorders may need several months of ongoing therapy rather than a fixed course.

Surgical repair of a perforated eardrum (tympanoplasty), often combined with reconstruction of the tiny middle-ear bones (ossiculoplasty) when they have been damaged or eroded by chronic infection, to close the perforation and restore sound conduction to the inner ear.
Typical recovery · 2–6 weeks
Typically same-day or a single overnight hospital stay; an ear pack or dressing is usually removed within 1–2 weeks, with most patients back to normal light activity in 2–3 weeks and full healing of the eardrum graft taking up to 2–3 months. Air travel and water exposure to the ear are usually restricted for the first few weeks.

A quick in-office procedure in which steroid (or, less commonly, a different medication) is injected through the eardrum into the middle ear, where it diffuses into the inner ear to reduce inflammation and control vertigo attacks — most often used for Meniere's disease that hasn't responded well enough to medication alone.
Typical recovery · 4-week protocol
Each injection takes only a minute or two under local anesthetic, followed by lying still for 20–30 minutes; a typical protocol is one injection weekly for 4 consecutive weeks, with patients able to resume normal activity the same day and results assessed over the following months.

Cochlear implants performed at our accredited partner centers use globally recognized device brands (Cochlear, MED-EL, Advanced Bionics) that are serviced and supported through international distributor networks, including in many African and Middle Eastern countries. The surgical outcomes at high-volume implant centers in India and Turkey are comparable to Western benchmarks. Before surgery, an audiologist confirms candidacy through comprehensive audiometry and imaging. Post-implant programming (mapping) sessions begin in-hospital and continue remotely via telemapping, meaning your device can be fine-tuned from home after you return.
No fees. No commitment.
We are compensated by our partner hospitals — never by patients. You get independent clinical matching, cost transparency, and end-to-end coordination at no cost to you.
