A mid-range Rs 60,000 tympanoplasty converts to about Rs 5,000 per month over 12 months on Axten's 0% EMI plans.

Eardrum Repair (Tympanoplasty) cost --- FAQs

How much does eardrum repair (tympanoplasty) cost in India?

Endoscopic tympanoplasty at Axten Hospitals costs Rs 40,000 - Rs 80,000 all-inclusive, depending on graft type, any hearing-bone work and city. The single written quote covers surgeon fees, OT, endoscopic equipment, graft harvesting, stay, medicines and routine tests - with zero surprise billing and free follow-ups until your hearing result is confirmed. Call 8156-92-92-92 for an exact estimate.

Does the graft add to the cost of tympanoplasty?

No. The graft is your own tissue - tragal cartilage lining or temporalis fascia - harvested through a tiny hidden incision during the same surgery, so there is no implant purchase for a standard repair. Costs rise only if the tiny hearing bones are eroded and need a prosthesis for reconstruction, and that ossiculoplasty component is identified on your audiogram and quoted before surgery.

Why would my quote be higher than someone else's?

Ear surgery is tailored: a small central perforation needs a simple Type I repair, while a large or recurrent hole needs sturdier cartilage grafting, eroded hearing bones need ossiculoplasty, and infection spread into the mastoid needs combined tympanomastoidectomy. Each step adds OT time and materials. Your endoscopy, audiogram and CT (when needed) let Axten quote your exact operation in writing beforehand.

Is tympanoplasty covered by insurance even though hearing improves?

Yes. Tympanoplasty is classified as functional, medically necessary surgery - it closes a diseased perforation and prevents recurrent infection - not a cosmetic or elective procedure. Virtually all Indian health policies cover it, subject to standard waiting periods if the chronic ear disease predates the policy. Axten's insurance desk assembles the clinical documentation and processes cashless approval before your admission.

Does endoscopic surgery cost more than the conventional method?

Package prices are broadly similar. Endoscopic equipment carries charges, but the approach avoids the cut behind the ear, shortens surgery and stay, and most patients go home the same day - savings that offset the technology cost. You gain a scarless ear, less pain and faster return to work at essentially the same all-inclusive price, quoted in writing either way.

Can I pay for eardrum repair in monthly instalments?

Yes. Axten's 0% EMI facility converts a mid-range Rs 60,000 package into roughly Rs 5,000 per month over 12 months, with quick approval on standard KYC documents. Since every fresh infection through an open perforation erodes hearing further - sometimes permanently - EMI ensures you repair the drum now rather than paying more later in hearing, medicines and bigger surgery.
