About H83.3X

H83.3X 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H83.3X1 (ear), H83.3X2 (ear), H83.3X3 (bilateral) and H83.3X9 (unspecified ear).

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