About coding deafness word
The ICD-10-CM code for deafness word is H93.25 (Central auditory processing disorder).
Within H93.2 (other abnormal auditory perceptions), H93.25 is specifically for central auditory processing disorder. Related codes cover auditory recruitment (H93.21), Diplacusis (H93.22), Hyperacusis (H93.23), temporary auditory threshold shift (H93.24) and other abnormal auditory perceptions (H93.29).
