Price report, Q3 2026

Worth it or not

Hanoi hearing prices come from hospital tariffs and clinic lists: a public ENT hospital, private hospitals on Minh Khai and Hàn Thuyên, an ENT clinic in Hoàng Mai, a hearing centre on Trường Chinh and a family doctor centre on Hồ Mễ Trì. They price a hearing test, tympanometry, ear wax and canal plug removal, but no hearing aid, ear mould or custom ear plug. Only the hearing test has a Dutch price, and every seller is below it, most far below; ear wax and plug removal are free at home.

The lowest figure on the hearing test, tympanometry and plug removal is the public ENT hospital's Ministry of Health tariff, so read it as a floor; the others sit above it, Vinmec highest. Check labels: some lines say audiometry or hearing check, not pure-tone audiogram, and ear wax lines mix endoscopic cleaning with plain removal. The hearing centre calls its test price a rough reference, and the test is free if you try hearing aids. The flight is yours to add.
