H83.3Noise effects on inner ear

H83.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for noise effects on inner ear. It belongs to category H83 (other diseases of inner ear), block H80-H83 (diseases of inner ear) and chapter 8 (diseases of the ear and mastoid process). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 1 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H83 (other diseases of inner ear), H83.3 is specifically for noise effects on inner ear. Related codes cover labyrinthitis (H83.0), labyrinthine fistula (H83.1), labyrinthine dysfunction (H83.2), other specified diseases of inner ear (H83.8) and unspecified disease of inner ear (H83.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H83.3X (ear).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
