Hearing loss usually begins with the high frequencies then progresses to sounds of middle and low frequencies. 388.01 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.01 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.02 Transient ischemic deafness 388.02 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.02 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.1 Noise effects on inner ear 388.1 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.10 Noise effects on inner ear unspecified 388.10 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.10 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.11 Acoustic trauma (explosive) to ear 388.11 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.11 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.12 Noise-induced hearing loss Hearing loss due to exposure to explosive loud noise or chronic exposure to sound level greater than 85 dB. The hearing loss is often in the frequency range 4000-6000 hertz. 388.12 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.12 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.2 Sudden hearing loss unspecified Sensorineural hearing loss which develops suddenly over a period of hours or a few days. It varies in severity from mild to total deafness. Sudden deafness can be due to head trauma, vascular diseases, infections, or can appear without obvious cause or warning. 388.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.2 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.3 Tinnitus A nonspecific symptom of hearing disorder characterized by the sensation of buzzing, ringing, clicking, pulsations, and other noises in the ear. Objective tinnitus refers to noises generated from within the ear or adjacent structures that can be heard by other individuals. The term subjective tinnitus is used when the sound is audible only to the affected individual. Tinnitus may occur as a manifestation of COCHLEAR DISEASES; VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE DISEASES; INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; and other conditions. 388.3 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.30 Tinnitus unspecified A nonspecific symptom of hearing disorder characterized by the sensation of buzzing, ringing, clicking, pulsations, and other noises in the ear. Objective tinnitus refers to noises generated from within the ear or adjacent structures that can be heard by other individuals. The term subjective tinnitus is used when the sound is audible only to the affected individual. Tinnitus may occur as a manifestation of COCHLEAR DISEASES; VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE DISEASES; INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; and other conditions. 388.30 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.30 contains 3 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.31 Subjective tinnitus 388.31 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.31 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.32 Objective tinnitus 388.32 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.32 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.4 Other abnormal auditory perception 388.4 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.40 Abnormal auditory perception unspecified 388.40 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.40 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.41 Diplacusis 388.41 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.41 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.42 Hyperacusis An abnormally disproportionate increase in the sensation of loudness in response to auditory stimuli of normal volume. COCHLEAR DISEASES; VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE DISEASES; FACIAL NERVE DISEASES; STAPES SURGERY; and other disorders may be associated with this condition. 388.42 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.42 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.43 Impairment of auditory discrimination 388.43 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.43 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.44 Auditory recruitment 388.44 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.44 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.5 Disorders of acoustic nerve Diseases of the vestibular and/or cochlear (acoustic) nerves, which join to form the vestibulocochlear nerve. VESTIBULAR NEURITIS, cochlear neuritis, and acoustic neuromas (NEUROMA, ACOUSTIC) are relatively common conditions that affect these nerves. Clinical manifestations vary with which nerve is primarily affected, and include hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus. 388.5 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.5 contains 17 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.6 Otorrhea 388.6 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.60 Otorrhea unspecified 388.60 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 388.60 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 388.61 Cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea Discharge of cerebrospinal fluid through the external auditory meatus or through the eustachian tube into the nasopharynx. This is usually associated with CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE involving the TEMPORAL BONE), NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES, or other conditions, but may rarely occur spontaneously.
