Unspecified perforation of tympanic membrane, right ear. H72.91 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM H72.91 became effective on October 1, 2019.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H66.01 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S09.2 "Includes" further defines, or give examples of, the content of the code or category. A temporary or persistent opening in the eardrum (tympanic membrane). Clinical signs depend on the size, location, and associated pathological condition.

Perforation of tympanic membrane H72- >. A temporary or persistent opening in the eardrum (tympanic membrane). Clinical signs depend on the size, location, and associated pathological condition.
Information: A central perforation is a perforation in the pars tensa that leaves an intact portion of the tympanic membrane between the rim of the perforation and the bony canal. The fibrous annulus, the tickened portion of the TM near the bony canal, is also intact.
Tympanic membrane perforations are holes in the eardrum that most commonly occur as a consequence of either ear infections or trauma to the ear.
Total perforations are those in which there is only a minimal rim of membrane left around the annulus and along the malleus handle while subtotal perforations are those larger than 50% but smaller than total perforations.
ICD-10 code H92. 01 for Otalgia, right ear is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the ear and mastoid process .
Symptoms include sudden ear pain, or sudden decrease in ear pain, discharge (which may be bloody) or hearing loss. The vast majority of ruptured eardrums will heal without treatment. A simple perforation of the ear drum as part of acute otitis media does NOT need referral unless it persists > 6 weeks.
The type of perforation seen were central 57.6%, subtotal 33.3%, total 6.1%, marginal 3.0%. The sides affected were left ear 45.5%, right ear 15.2%, and both ears 39.4%. The causes found were chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) 90.9%, acute suppurative otitis media (ASOM) 6.1%, and trauma to the affected ear 3.0%.
The outcome may also be related to the cause, mechanism, treatment and complications associated with the injuries. Simple traumatic tympanic membrane perforation (TTMP) remains the most common type of trauma - induced otologic dysfunction.
Traumatic perforation of the tympanic membrane causes sudden severe pain sometimes followed by bleeding from the ear, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Hearing loss is more severe if the ossicular chain is disrupted or the inner ear is injured.
Infection is the principal cause of tympanic membrane perforation (TMP). Acute infection of the middle ear may cause a relative ischemia in the drum concurrent with increased pressure in the middle ear space. This leads to a tear or rupture of the eardrum that is usually preceded by severe pain.

by trying to clean the ear with sharp instruments), explosion, loud noise or surgery (accidental creation of a rupture). Flying with a severe cold can also cause perforation due to changes in air pressure and blocked eustachian tubes resulting from the cold. This is especially true on landing.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H72.821 and a single ICD9 code, 384.25 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
