1. Ogawa-san. Keio University Hospital.
Re tested hearing – all negative. Unfortunately right ear is still infected raising the likelihood this cochlear will be damaged.
Prescribed Oral steroids and oral antibiotics for 5 days. Booked CT and MRI scans within 3 days. Surprisingly advised left side side and later the right CI surgery. Japan only offers Cochlear and Med El brands. Cost in Japam around $40,000 per ear. Similar to US and UK.
2. Kawano-san. Tokyo Medical University - seeing on Monday
TMU and Toranomon Hopsitals are the leaders in CI surgery in Japan (Keio University may be better for middle ear issues). Dr. Kanawa and Kumakawa respectively, were highly recommended CI surgeons, from these Hospitals.
3. Prof Yamasoba. University of Tokyo Hospital.
Also very highly rated but this info was late to me. Dr.Kashio is the main CI surgoen in this team.
