H80 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of otosclerosis. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

Specific Coding Applicable to Otosclerosis

Non-specific codes like H80 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for otosclerosis:

  • H80.0 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, nonobliterative - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H80.00 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, nonobliterative, unspecified ear - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H80.01 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, nonobliterative, right ear - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H80.02 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, nonobliterative, left ear - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H80.03 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, nonobliterative, bilateral - BILLABLE CODE

  • H80.1 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, obliterative - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H80.10 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, obliterative, unspecified ear - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H80.11 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, obliterative, right ear - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H80.12 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, obliterative, left ear - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use H80.13 for Otosclerosis involving oval window, obliterative, bilateral - BILLABLE CODE

  • H80.2 for Cochlear otosclerosis - NON-BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Information

  • Otosclerosis

    formation of spongy bone in the labyrinth capsule which can progress toward the stapes (stapedial fixation) or anteriorly toward the cochlea leading to conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss. several genes are associated with familial otosclerosis with varied clinical signs.
  • Otosclerosis

    a condition characterized by bony overgrowth involving the footplate of the stapes.

Patient Education


Ear Disorders

Your ear has three main parts: outer, middle and inner. You use all of them in hearing. Sound waves come in through your outer ear. They reach your middle ear, where they make your eardrum vibrate. The vibrations are transmitted through three tiny bones, called ossicles, in your middle ear. The vibrations travel to your inner ear, a snail-shaped organ. The inner ear makes the nerve impulses that are sent to the brain. Your brain recognizes them as sounds. The inner ear also controls balance.

A variety of conditions may affect your hearing or balance:

  • Ear infections are the most common illness in infants and young children.
  • Tinnitus, a roaring in your ears, can be the result of loud noises, medicines or a variety of other causes.
  • Meniere's disease may be the result of fluid problems in your inner ear; its symptoms include tinnitus and dizziness.
  • Ear barotrauma is an injury to your ear because of changes in barometric (air) or water pressure.

Some ear disorders can result in hearing disorders and deafness.
