2025 ICD-10-CM code H83.3X1
Noise effects on right inner ear.
Medical necessity for the evaluation and management of noise effects is established by the patient's symptoms, history of noise exposure, and the impact on their daily life. Further diagnostic testing and treatment are justified based on the severity of the hearing loss and other associated symptoms.
In simple words: This code indicates that the patient is experiencing effects from noise exposure in their right inner ear.
Noise effects on right inner ear.
Example 1: A 50-year-old construction worker presents with hearing loss and tinnitus in their right ear after years of exposure to loud machinery. The diagnosis of noise-induced hearing loss is confirmed with an audiogram, and H83.3X1 is used for coding., A 25-year-old musician complains of persistent ringing and reduced hearing in their right ear after frequent exposure to loud music during rehearsals and concerts. Following a hearing evaluation, H83.3X1 is assigned to represent the noise-induced hearing loss in the right ear., A factory worker experiences sudden hearing loss in their right ear after a loud explosion at their workplace. Diagnostic tests reveal damage to the inner ear from the acoustic trauma. H83.3X1 is used to code the injury-related noise effect on the inner ear.
Detailed clinical documentation should support the diagnosis of noise effects on the right inner ear. This includes history of noise exposure (e.g., occupational, recreational), audiometric findings, and any associated symptoms like tinnitus or vertigo. Documentation of the duration and intensity of noise exposure is also important.
