Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 my surgery cost approximately $25,000 From: ask me <supakid113@...>cholesteatoma Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 12:32:58 AMSubject: Cholesteatoma cost I know this is a difficult thing to analyze, but what can I expect tobe the average cost for cholesteatoma treatment?I was involved in a car accident this past July, which resulted inhearing loss and tinnitus. The doctor thinks I might developcholesteatoma as a result. I'm trying to settle an insurance claimagainst the at-fault driver, but I need to know information on whatthis might cost. I read online that a mastiodectomy might cost around$4-5,000 ... so I know it's at least that much.Thank you for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Since most of us deal with this for the rest of our lives ... this could get very expensive. It would depend on whether you have insurance or not. It's been a long time since my first surgery, but that one was tens of thousands of dollars. It was quite long. Then you have hearing aid expenses the rest of your life, follow-up appointments, additional surgeries, etc. I doubt any court can definitively state a cause for cholesteatoma (since most leading otologists won't answer the question).

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Another thing to remember is that you now have a pre-existing condition, which can effect whether or not you can obtain insurance coverage on your own as an individual in the future. e From: cholesteatoma [mailto:cholesteatoma ] On Behalf Of R.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think Chloe is getting close to a million now with 11 surgeries, and all the Ct scans, hearing tests, medicines, etc...She's worth it, but I think you can see that Matt is right about the costs being diffficult to predict.
