Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the H83 range.

About the H83 Code Range
The ICD-10 code H83 covers a variety of specific inner ear disorders, including labyrinthitis, labyrinthine fistula, labyrinthine dysfunction, noise-induced damage, and other specified or unspecified inner ear diseases. These codes help precisely identify the affected ear and the particular condition.
Coding with H83.0 specifies labyrinthitis, an inflammation often referenced by synonyms such as autoimmune or viral labyrinthitis of the right, left, or both ears. Codes like H83.1 denote labyrinthine fistula, including fistulas of labyrinth structures such as the semicircular canals or round window, with laterality noted. Inner ear dysfunction—whether hypoactive or hyperactive—is captured under H83.2, while H83.3 addresses noise effects causing hearing loss due to acoustic trauma. Other specified disorders, including superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome, appear in H83.8, and H83.9 is reserved for unspecified inner ear diseases. Understanding these detailed codes supports accurate clinical documentation and effective communication when diagnosing or treating inner ear conditions.
