Why have cochlear implantation done in China?

China offers the same globally recognized imported devices (e.g., Cochlear, Med-El, Advanced Bionics) at a total cost of approximately $25,000—often 40–60% less than in the US or Western Europe. Surgeons in major Chinese hospitals perform high volumes of cochlear implant surgeries annually, ensuring extensive experience. Additionally, patients benefit from streamlined care, modern hospital facilities, and comprehensive post-operative support, including audiology mapping and rehabilitation.
