Cost & Funding
Cochlear implant cost in Bangalore
Bangalore CI costs typically range from scheme-supported (Karnataka SAST + ADIP) to ₹12 lakh in private packages.
Bangalore has multiple CI centres including Bangalore Speech & Hearing Centre, Manipal, Apollo, Fortis and several ENT specialty hospitals. Karnataka's SAST scheme historically supports paediatric CI for eligible families; ADIP applies for children under 5 from low-income families.
Bangalore also has strong AVT and audiology infrastructure — important for the long therapy phase.
