About the H73 Code Range
These disorders affect the tympanic membrane, also called the eardrum. The categories sit within diseases of the middle ear and mastoid.
H73.0 covers acute myringitis, including bullous and other acute forms. H73.1 covers chronic myringitis, while H73.2 leaves the type unspecified. H73.8 groups other specified eardrum disorders, including atrophic flaccid and atrophic nonflaccid forms. H73.9 is for an unspecified eardrum disorder. The subdivisions distinguish the right ear, left ear, both ears, or an unspecified ear.
