Why ICD-10 codes are important
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

The Four Types of Hearing LossSensorineural Hearing Loss.Conductive Hearing Loss.Mixed Hearing Loss.Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder.Talk to Your Audiologist.
Types of hearing lossSensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss. ... Conductive hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss is typically the result of obstructions in the outer or middle ear — perhaps due to fluid, tumors, earwax or even ear formation. ... Mixed hearing loss.

FUNCTIONAL hearing loss is a term applied to all nonorganic deafness. It is a condition in which the patient does not fully utilize his residual hearing as determined by numerous available tests for detecting organic loss in auditory acuity.
The difference between being hard of hearing and being deaf lies in the degree of hearing loss. People typically use being hard of hearing to describe mild-to-severe hearing loss. Meanwhile, deafness refers to profound hearing loss. Deaf people have very little, if any, hearing.
ICD-10 code: H90. 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.

A disorder characterized by partial or complete loss of the ability to detect or understand sounds resulting from damage to ear structures.
Hearing loss due to interference with the mechanical reception or amplification of sound to the cochlea. The interference is in the outer or middle ear involving the ear canal; tympanic membrane; or ear ossicles.
Causes include exposure to loud noise, ear infections, injuries to the ear, genetic, and congenital disorders.

A disorder characterized by partial or complete loss of the ability to detect or understand sounds resulting from damage to ear structures. A general term for the complete or partial loss of the ability to hear from one or both ears. A partial or complete loss of hearing in one or both ears. It is classified as conductive, sensory, or central.
It is classified as conductive, sensory, or central. An inherited or acquired condition characterized by a partial or complete loss of hearing in one or both ears. The level of impairment varies from a mild but important loss of sensitivity to a total loss of hearing. Hearing loss in frequencies above 1000 hertz.
Causes include exposure to loud noise, ear infections, injuries to the ear, genetic, and congenital disorders. Code History.
