H93.2Other abnormal auditory perceptions

H93.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other abnormal auditory perceptions. It belongs to category H93 (other disorders of ear, not elsewhere classified), block H90-H94 (other disorders of 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H93, choose H93.2 (Other abnormal auditory perceptions) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: degenerative and vascular disorders of ear (H93.0), tinnitus (H93.1), disorders of acoustic nerve (H93.3), other specified disorders of ear (H93.8), unspecified disorder of ear (H93.9) and Pulsatile tinnitus (H93.A).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H93.21 (recruitment), H93.22 (Diplacusis), H93.23 (Hyperacusis), H93.24 (shift), H93.25 (disorder) and H93.29 (perceptions).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of H93.2, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: auditory hallucinations (R44.0).

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