Diseases of the Ear and Mastoid Process.” This specific subset of codes plays a crucial role in the field of otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat medicine) and audiology, providing a standardized framework for the diagnosis, management, and tracking of various ear-related ailments and conditions.
The human ear is an intricate and delicate sensory organ responsible for both hearing and maintaining balance. As such, it is susceptible to a wide range of disorders, infections, injuries, and structural abnormalities that can profoundly impact an individual’s quality of life. These conditions may affect the external ear, middle ear, inner ear, or the mastoid process, which is the bony structure behind the ear. Properly identifying and documenting these ear-related disorders is critical for healthcare providers to deliver accurate treatment and for researchers to conduct epidemiological studies.
The ICD-10 codes for ear and mastoid process diseases are organized into distinct categories, each encompassing a specific set of conditions. This classification system allows medical professionals to precisely describe and categorize the nature of an ear disorder, facilitating effective communication among healthcare providers and ensuring that appropriate treatment strategies are employed.
In this exploration of Diseases of the Ear and Mastoid Process ICD-10 Codes, we will delve into each category, providing insights into the diverse range of conditions covered within this classification. By understanding these codes, healthcare practitioners can better diagnose and manage ear-related health issues, ultimately contributing to improved patient care and outcomes.
H60-H62 Diseases of External Ear:
- H60 – External otitis: This category includes various forms of inflammation and infections of the external ear canal. Commonly known as “swimmer’s ear,” it can be caused by bacterial or fungal infections. Symptoms often include ear pain, itching, redness, and discharge.
- H61 – Other disorders of external ear: This code encompasses a range of conditions affecting the external ear, such as traumatic injuries, foreign bodies in the ear canal, and skin disorders. It can also include conditions like keloids and cysts that may develop on the ear.
- H62 – Disorders of external ear in diseases classified elsewhere: This code is used when an external ear disorder is associated with another underlying medical condition. For example, if an ear infection occurs due to diabetes, the primary diagnosis would be the diabetes, and H62 would be used as a secondary code.

H65-H75 Diseases of Middle Ear and Mastoid:
- H65 – Nonsuppurative otitis media: This category covers non-infectious inflammations of the middle ear, often associated with allergies or changes in atmospheric pressure. It may include conditions like serous otitis media, which involves fluid accumulation in the middle ear.
- H66 – Suppurative and unspecified otitis media: This code group includes infectious inflammations of the middle ear, such as acute and chronic otitis media, characterized by symptoms like ear pain, hearing loss, and fluid drainage.
- H70 – Mastoiditis and related conditions: Mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid bone, located behind the ear. This code group covers various mastoid-related conditions, including mastoid abscess and other complications.
- H71 – Cholesteatoma of middle ear: Cholesteatoma is a benign growth of skin cells in the middle ear or mastoid. It can lead to hearing loss and other complications if not treated.
- H72 – Perforation of tympanic membrane: This category addresses conditions where the eardrum (tympanic membrane) is damaged, leading to hearing problems or infections. Causes can include trauma, infection, or pressure changes.
- H73 – Other disorders of tympanic membrane: This code group includes various conditions affecting the tympanic membrane, such as retraction, scarring, or adhesive otitis.

H80-H83 Diseases of Inner Ear:
- H80 – Conductive and sensorineural hearing loss: This category encompasses hearing loss due to various causes, including structural abnormalities (conductive) and damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve (sensorineural).
- H81 – Disorders of vestibular function: Vestibular disorders affect balance and spatial orientation. This includes conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and Meniere’s disease.
- H82 – Vertiginous syndromes in central origin: This code is used for disorders of vertigo or dizziness originating in the central nervous system, such as vestibular migraine or brainstem lesions.

H90-H94 Other Disorders of Ear:
This category includes a wide range of ear disorders not covered in the previous categories. Some examples include:
- H90 – Conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, unilateral or unspecified: This code is used for cases of hearing loss that affect only one ear or where the laterality is unspecified.
- H91 – Other and unspecified hearing loss: This includes hearing loss not classified as conductive or sensorineural, such as presbycusis (age-related hearing loss).
- H92 – Otalgia and effusion of ear: Otalgia refers to ear pain, while effusion indicates fluid accumulation in the ear, often associated with ear infections.
- H93 – Other disorders of ear, not elsewhere classified: This code is used for various ear-related conditions that do not fit into the previous categories, such as tinnitus (ringing in the ears), ear barotrauma, or ear wax impaction.
