Mild hearing loss is defined by being unable to hear sounds that are quieter than about 25 decibels (dB) for adults and 15 dB for children. This includes sounds like whispered conversations, dripping water, leaves rustling, feet shuffling on floors/carpets, and birds chirping.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hyperacusis H93. 23.
Bilateral means hearing loss in both ears. Unilateral means hearing loss in one ear. Symmetrical versus asymmetrical. Symmetrical means the severity and shape of hearing loss are the same in each ear.
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.

ICD-10 code R46. 89 for Other symptoms and signs involving appearance and behavior is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
If you can only hear sounds when they are at 30 dB, you have a mild hearing loss. You have a moderate hearing loss if sounds are closer to 50 dB before you hear them. To find out how loud common sounds are, visit the noise page.

Hearing loss affects people of all ages and can be caused by many different factors. The three basic categories of hearing loss are sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss and mixed hearing loss. Here is what patients should know about each type.
March 30, 2020. Normal hearing sensitivity has been defined as being able to hear a range of frequencies at a loudness between 0-25 decibels. Logical thinking says that if your hearing is in this range your ability to understand speech would require little effort in higher areas of the brain.
Mild Hearing Loss — a person with a mild hearing loss may hear some speech sounds but soft sounds are hard to hear. Moderate Hearing Loss — a person with a moderate hearing loss may hear almost no speech when another person is talking at a normal level.
Hearing loss can also be described as: Hearing loss is in one ear (unilateral) or both ears (bilateral).
Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is not conducted efficiently through the outer ear canal to the eardrum and ossicles of the middle ear. Conductive hearing loss usually involves a reduction in sound level or the ability to hear faint sounds. This type of hearing loss can often be corrected medically or surgically.
Hearing loss is a common problem caused by noise, aging, disease, and heredity. According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated one-third of people in the U.S. between the ages of 65 and 75 have some degree of hearing loss, while close to one-half of people over 75 years of age are affected.
There is also a subcategory (H91.2) for sudden idiopathic hearing loss, which is for sudden hearing loss with no known no cause. H90.0 Conductive hearing loss, bilateral.
Most of the time, SNHL cannot be medically or surgically corrected. This is the most common type of permanent hearing loss. Mixed hearing loss is conductive hearing loss with sensorineural hearing loss. In other words, there may be damage in the outer or middle ear, and in the inner ear (cochlea) or auditory nerve.
Any medication that damages the ear and causes hearing loss is considered ototoxic. The damage may be permanent, or may return to normal after the medication is stopped. It may occur in one or both ears, and may not be to the same degree in both ears. Presbycusis is hearing loss that occurs gradually as a person ages.
This type of hearing loss can often be corrected medically or surgically. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) occurs when there is damage to the inner ear (cochlea), or to the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain. SNHL reduces the ability to hear faint sounds.
There is no history of ear discharge, tinnitus, vertigo, or trauma. Otoscopic exam reveals both ear canals and TMs to be normal. Tuning for tests confirmed left conductive hearing loss. Proper coding is H90.12 Conductive hearing loss, unilateral, left ear, with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side.
Unilateral brain stem lesions involving the cochlear nuclei may result in unilateral hearing loss. Hearing loss resulting from damage to the cochlea and the sensorineural elements which lie internally beyond the oval and round windows. These elements include the auditory nerve and its connections in the brainstem.
Hearing loss caused by a problem along the pathway from the inner ear to the auditory region of the brain or in the brain itself. Hearing loss caused by a problem in the inner ear or auditory nerve. A sensorineural loss often affects a person's ability to hear some frequencies more than others.
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a type of hearing loss, or deafness, in which the root cause lies in the inner ear (cochlea and associated structures), vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII), or central auditory processing centers of the brain. SNHL accounts for about 90% of hearing loss reported. A hallmark of such hearing loss is that it is asymmetrically distributed usually toward the high frequency region, or may have a notch at some frequency. SNHL is generally permanent and can be mild, moderate, severe, profound, or total.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H90.3 and a single ICD9 code, 389.18 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
