Hyperacusis is a condition characterized by an increased sensitivity to sounds, resulting in discomfort or pain even at normal volumes. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), provides a specific code for hyperacusis. The ICD-10 code for hyperacusis is H93.25. This code falls under the broader category of "other abnormal auditory perception," which includes various auditory disorders.
In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), does not have a specific code for hyperacusis. However, it is worth noting that ICD-9 does provide codes for related auditory disorders such as phonophobia (ICD-9 code 784.0) and recruitment (ICD-9 code 388.42). These codes may be used to describe certain aspects or symptoms associated with hyperacusis.
It is important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate coding. The ICD-10 code for hyperacusis ensures a more specific classification and facilitates better tracking and understanding of this condition in healthcare settings.
