H90.71
ICD-10-CMMixed conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, unilateral, right ear, with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side
This code signifies a hearing impairment affecting the right ear, characterized by a combination of conductive and sensorineural components. The patient experiences normal hearing in the left ear. This condition indicates issues in both the outer/middle ear (conductive) and the inner ear/auditory nerve (sensorineural) on the specified side.
Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of mixed hearing loss specifically in the right ear, with the left ear noted as having unrestricted or normal hearing. Supporting documentation should include audiometry results showing both air-bone gaps and elevated bone conduction thresholds in the right ear, alongside normal audiometric findings for the left ear.
