ENT

Ear, nose and throat covers sinus and nasal airway surgery, tonsil and adenoid procedures, ear surgery including cochlear implantation, and the functional side of rhinoplasty. For U.S. patients the cost gap is widest in device-based treatment: a cochlear implant, where the processor and the surgery are billed together, runs into tens of thousands of dollars at home. If a device is involved, ask which manufacturer and model will be used, whether that model is supported by service centres in the United States, and how programming and maintenance will work once you are back.
