Answer: A
H90.3 is the correct code for this diagnosis as it codes for “sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral.” In the sensorineural hearing loss, hearing is affected due to damage to the inner ear commonly seen due to exposure to loud noise.
Option B is not correct because it codes for bilateral conductive hearing loss, which is not the diagnosis here. In the conductive hearing loss, struggle occurs in hearing the soft sounds.
Option C is incorrect because it codes for unspecified mixed conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. In this patient, hearing loss is only sensorineural.
Option D is incorrect because it codes for mixed conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral, which is not the diagnosis here.
