Tympanoplasty (Perforated Eardrum Repair) Cost In India

A proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the extent of damage to the eardrum and its surrounding structures, the type of surgery to be performed, and the choice of implant/graft to be used to ensure the procedure is successful. The cost of diagnostic tests usually required for tympanoplasty are:

• Tympanometry: Rs. 250-Rs. 800
• Audiology exam: Rs. 400-Rs. 1000
• Ear discharge culture and other lab tests: Rs. 400-Rs. 800
• Tuning fork evaluation: Rs. 200-Rs. 700

Normally, holes in the eardrum do not heal on their own. Surgical repair is necessary to restore hearing and close the hole. Tympanoplasty has about 85-90% success rate in restoring the quality of hearing and preventing further complications. However, this success rate is lowered if there is too much damage to the middle ear bones.

The cost of tympanoplasty in India depends on a variety of factors such as:

Choice of treatment city and hospital

The cost of tympanoplasty in a metro city may be slightly higher than in a non-metro city. Similarly, the cost of hospitalization depends on the type of the hospital chosen by the patient. The procedure usually requires overnight hospitalization so the type of hospital room chosen also affects the cost of treatment.

Type of treatment

The total cost of tympanoplasty treatment also depends on the type of surgery and graft used for treatment. Generally, the surgical technique is selected based on the severity of the condition, patient’s age, surgeon and patient preference, etc.

Choice of surgical graft

Depending on the extent of the injury, the surgeon will choose an appropriate graft for the surgery. For tympanic membrane tears, a simple true temporalis fascia graft is best, but for severe trauma that involves middle ear bones as well, specialized synthetic or nonautologous grafts may be necessary.

Patient’s age and health condition

The type of surgical treatment chosen for eardrum repair depends on the patient’s age and health condition, for example, the type of graft and surgery chosen is different for kids and adults.

Post-surgical care and complications

Although safe, tympanoplasty is major surgery and can cause postoperative complications such as pain, nausea, airway obstruction, bleeding, etc. Proper postoperative care is a must to ensure such complications do not occur.

Surgeon fees

The surgeon’s consultation and operative fees depend on their expertise and experience. An experienced surgeon has more chances of successfully completing the treatment without any complications.

Cost of diagnostic tests

To ensure the procedure is successful, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the extent of damage to the eardrum and its surrounding structures. The cost of diagnostic tests usually required for tympanoplasty are:

• Tympanometry: Rs. 300-Rs. 800
• Audiology exam: Rs. 500-Rs. 1000
• Ear discharge culture and other lab tests: Rs. 600-Rs. 800
• Tuning fork evaluation: Rs. 300-Rs. 700
