Bilateral hearing loss simply means that both ears are affected. Bilateral hearing loss usually occurs gradually over time. But in some (rare) cases, it can come on suddenly.
Having sensorineural hearing loss means there is damage either to the tiny hair cells in your inner ear (known as stereocilia), or to the nerve pathways that lead from your inner ear to the brain. It normally affects both ears. Once you develop sensorineural hearing loss, you have it for the rest of your life.

The difference between 92551 and 92552 is slight, but very important when doing medical billing. 92552 changes both intensity and frequency while 92551 only changes frequency while the intensity stays the same. Billing for the medical code 92552 when a 92551 was performed is fraudulent whether you realize it or not.
92587: Distortion product evoked otoacoustic emissions, limited evaluation (to confirm the presence or absence of hearing disorder, 3–6 frequencies) or transient evoked otoacoustic emissions, with interpretation and report.
