ICD-10-CM Code for Otitis media, unspecified H66. 9.
Otitis externa, also called swimmer's ear, is an inflammation, irritation, or infection of the external ear canal. Swimmer's ear is caused by fungi or bacteria.
Otitis externa means that the inflammation is confined to the external part of the ear canal and does not go further than the eardrum. See the separate leaflet called Ear Infection (Otitis Media), for an infection of the middle ear.
The key physical finding of OE is pain upon palpation of the tragus (anterior to ear canal) or application of traction to the pinna (the hallmark of OE). Examination reveals erythema, edema, and narrowing of the external auditory canal (EAC), and a purulent or serous discharge may be noted (see the image below).
Etiology of Otitis Externa. The most common cause of otitis externa is a bacterial infection, although fungal overgrowth is a principal cause in 10 percent of cases.

Otitis externa (also known as external otitis and swimmer's ear) is an inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal. Along with otitis media, external otitis is one of the two human conditions commonly called "earache". It also occurs in many other species. Inflammation of the skin of the ear canal is the essence of this disorder.
