3: Sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral.
What is an eardrum (tympanic membrane) perforation? Tympanic membrane perforation, also known as a perforated eardrum, is a hole in the thin membrane that separates the ear canal from the middle ear.
Attic perforation of the eardrum This is a perforation in the superior part of the eardrum. This is sometimes referred to as an attic perforation. A perforation in this location may be associated with a deep retraction pocket or cholesteatoma into the mastoid.

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.
Tympanic membrane perforation may be classified based on the duration, size, and location of perforation. Tympanic membrane perforation is acute when it is <3. months in duration, while it is chronic perforation when it is >3 months in duration.
A ruptured eardrum (tympanic membrane perforation) is a hole or tear in the thin tissue that separates the ear canal from the middle ear (eardrum). A ruptured eardrum can result in hearing loss. It can also make the middle ear vulnerable to infections.
Patients experiencing tympanic membrane perforation usually complain of sudden onset of pain accompanied by hearing loss, bloody otorrhea, hearing loss, vertigo, or tinnitus. In the study from Nigeria, the most common presenting symptom was otorrhea (81.5%), followed by otalgia (72.8%) and tinnitus (55.7%).
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.
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.
Rothholtz says that the most common cause of sensorineural hearing loss in adults is aging. This form of hearing loss occurs in the inner ear when tiny hair cells become damaged. The cells do not regrow, so the damage is permanent.
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.
Asymmetrical sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL) is defined as binaural difference in bone conduction thresholds of >10 dB at two consecutive frequencies or >15 dB at one frequency (0.25–8.0 kHz)3 (Figure 1).
Sensorineural hearing loss, or SNHL, happens after inner ear damage. Problems with the nerve pathways from your inner ear to your brain can also cause SNHL. Soft sounds may be hard to hear. Even louder sounds may be unclear or may sound muffled. This is the most common type of permanent hearing loss.
Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem conducting sound waves anywhere along the route through the outer ear, tympanic membrane (eardrum), or middle ear (ossicles). This type of hearing loss may occur in conjunction with sensorineural hearing loss (mixed hearing loss) or alone.

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 H90.11 and a single ICD9 code, 389.08 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
