The Four Best Hearing Aids For Profound Hearing Loss
Unspecified hearing loss, bilateral. H91.93 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H91.93 became effective on October 1, 2021.
It's a misconception that mild hearing loss isn't serious enough for hearing aids. In Audiology, the term "mild" is only used in comparison to not being able to hear at all. And because hearing loss occurs gradually — sometimes over decades — you may not even realize how bad it is.

3: Sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral.
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.
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.
5: Sensorineural hearing loss, unspecified.
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.
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.
