Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
Sound reaches the inner ear through a chain: eardrum, then the malleus, incus and stapes, then the cochlea. Otitis media can leave a perforation, scarring or damaged ossicles behind, breaking the chain; an injury does this instantly. Tympanometry shows the mobility of the eardrum and the pressure in the tympanic cavity, while audiometry and impedance testing show how far the hearing threshold has dropped and at which frequencies.
Chronic otitis media usually leads to tympanoplasty or reconstruction of the ossicles. A traumatic perforation of the eardrum is closed by myringoplasty using biomaterials. Damaged ossicles are replaced with prostheses or restored by osteoplasty.
For significant hearing loss, digital hearing aids and bone conduction implants are used. In sensorineural deafness, specialist centres consider cochlear implantation.
MediUkraine will tell you which specialist to see and coordinates the stages of examination and treatment, from the first consultation at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod to the follow-up audiometry.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

The approach depends on the type and degree of damage. Conservative treatment includes corticosteroids, antioxidants and medicines to improve microcirculation in the inner ear. Results are better in the acute phase of otitis and in mild sensorineural hearing loss. A course usually lasts 2–4 weeks with follow-up audiometry.
Surgery is indicated for conductive hearing loss caused by damage to the ossicles or a perforated eardrum. Microsurgical tympanoplasty and ossiculoplasty restore the mechanical transmission of sound. After an injury, urgent exploration of the middle ear may be needed.
Hearing aids and implants are the choice for severe and profound hearing loss when other methods have not worked. Modern hearing aids and cochlear implants noticeably improve patients' quality of life. MediUkraine arranges a consultation with a qualified ENT specialist at the partner clinic, who will advise where and how to have the treatment you need.
Rehabilitation begins immediately after the main course of treatment and combines physical, medication and technical methods. Changes in hearing function are tracked with regular audiometry and impedance testing, so residual defects are seen in good time and there is still time to adjust treatment. That is why the schedule of check-ups is drawn up before discharge, not after symptoms appear.
The rehabilitation programme includes medicines that improve microcirculation and metabolism in the tissues of the inner ear, physiotherapy and development of hearing and speech skills. Patients with significant hearing loss are offered hearing aids or a cochlear implant, depending on the degree of damage and their general health.
An ENT specialist at the MediUkraine partner clinic assesses your condition and advises where and how to continue rehabilitation and treatment. From MediUkraine you get your care arranged, coordination of each stage of hearing restoration and support until the follow-up examinations are complete.
Hearing restoration after ear infections and ear injuries is an area of ENT medicine that restores hearing lost through inflammation or mechanical damage. The doctor chooses the approach according to the nature of the damage: damaged ossicles, a perforated eardrum and scarring each require different solutions.
The conservative route consists of anti-inflammatory medicines, physiotherapy and hearing aids. If needed, the degree of hearing loss is clarified with audiometry and impedance testing. If the changes are irreversible, surgical correction is required.
MediUkraine arranges a consultation at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod suited to your diagnosis. Contact a coordinator with your existing ENT report, and they will tell you whether the clinic treats cases like yours.
Hearing treatment in Ukraine costs noticeably less than abroad, with comparable quality of care. Ukrainian ENT specialists are skilled in diagnostic and treatment methods, from audiometry and tympanometry to magnetic resonance imaging.
Audiologists and surgeons follow proven protocols for treating hearing disorders caused by inflammation or mechanical damage. When indicated, microsurgery (tympanoplasty or ossiculoplasty) is performed.
MediUkraine will organise a consultation with qualified specialists at the partner clinic and provide medical support at every stage of treatment, saving you money and time.
The safety of hearing treatment is the first thing MediUkraine patients check. The partner clinic follows sanitation and disinfection protocols for audiological equipment. All procedures take place in conditions that meet the requirements of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, and the clinic holds a valid licence. The doctors who restore hearing after ear infections and injuries are specialists in ENT medicine with training in audiology.
The clinic MediUkraine works with is equipped with diagnostic devices: audiometers, tympanometers and systems for examining the auditory system. This allows an accurate assessment of the degree of hearing loss and an individual treatment plan. Materials for hearing aids and surgery are approved for use.
At the clinic MediUkraine refers you to, the pre-operative examination includes checking for drug allergies and ruling out contraindications. After surgery you are monitored so that complications are spotted in time and the return of hearing is tracked.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
Hearing restoration after ear infections and injuries is a set of diagnostic and treatment measures that address the consequences of middle ear inflammation or mechanical damage. It includes medication, microsurgery (for example, tympanoplasty) and auditory rehabilitation, which restores the ability to distinguish speech and everyday sounds.
The first step is an ENT specialist consultation at the partner clinic, from USD 20. The doctor gives the treatment plan and its cost after the examination: they depend on the complexity of the case, and conservative treatment is usually more affordable than reconstructive surgery. MediUkraine will help you get a cost estimate before you travel.
Citizens of many countries can stay in Ukraine for a short period without a visa. The specific conditions depend on your country of origin, so check the current entry rules before you travel.
Treatment is indicated for patients who, after otitis media or an injury, still have reduced hearing, ringing in the ears, a feeling of blockage or distorted sounds. The final decision is made after audiometry and a consultation with an ENT specialist.
Audiometry, tympanometry, auditory evoked potential testing and computed tomography of the temporal bones are used. Together they show the extent of the damage and point to the best treatment approach.
The length depends on the scope of treatment. After conservative therapy you quickly return to normal life, while after surgery rehabilitation can take several weeks with regular hearing checks.
Hearing restoration does not harm general health. On the contrary, when hearing returns, your emotional well-being improves, communication becomes easier and you return more actively to your usual social circle.
