Audiologists should code asymmetrical hearing loss using an ICD-10 code that reflects bilateral hearing loss. For example, asymmetrical sensorineural hearing loss is reported using H90. 3 (sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral).

You can have a conductive hearing loss in just one ear (unilateral hearing loss) or in both ears (bilateral hearing loss).
Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound conduction is impeded through the external ear, the middle ear, or both. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is a problem within the cochlea or the neural pathway to the auditory cortex.

Asymmetric hearing loss has been defined as a difference of 15 dB between the right and left ears at three contiguous frequencies. No matter the degree of loss, asymmetric hearing loss requires further evaluation. Generally, this workup includes auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing or MRI.
About Conductive Hearing Loss A conductive hearing loss happens when sounds cannot get through the outer and middle ear. It may be hard to hear soft sounds. Louder sounds may be muffled. Medicine or surgery can often fix this type of hearing loss.
Causes of bilateral hearing loss You can also have a bilateral hearing loss if both of your ears' ability to conduct sound into the inner ear are blocked or reduced. This is called a conductive hearing loss. When the bilateral hearing loss is both conductive and sensorineural, it is called a mixed hearing loss.

Sensorineural hearing loss is treated by the use of hearing aids or cochlear implants. Conductive hearing loss is hearing loss that stems from something, typically fluid, tissue, or bony growth, that blocks or reduces the incoming sound.
Mixed Hearing Loss Sometimes people can have a combination of both sensorineural and conductive hearing loss. They may have a sensorineural hearing loss and then develop a conductive component in addition.
The audiogram should be obtained in almost all subjects with a hearing complaint. It compares pure tone behavioral thresholds for bone and air conduction at the six octave frequencies between 250 and 8000 Hz and is the definitive way of assessing whether hearing loss is conductive or sensorineural.
