Commonly asked questions
Yes, sensorineural hearing loss is typically permanent because it involves damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. While it cannot be cured, it can often be managed effectively with hearing aids or cochlear implants.
ICD-10 codes distinguish hearing loss by type—conductive, sensorineural, or mixed—and by laterality (unilateral, bilateral, or unspecified). Recent updates also include more specific codes that indicate the exact ear affected for improved accuracy.
No, hearing aids do not cure hearing loss but help improve hearing by amplifying sounds. They are an effective management tool for many people with mild to moderate hearing impairment.
