H93.29Other abnormal auditory perceptions

H93.29 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H93.2, choose H93.29 (Other abnormal auditory perceptions) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: auditory recruitment (H93.21), Diplacusis (H93.22), Hyperacusis (H93.23), temporary auditory threshold shift (H93.24) and central auditory processing disorder (H93.25).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H93.291 (right ear), H93.292 (left ear), H93.293 (bilateral) and H93.299 (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.
