What This Code Means
A disorder or disease affecting both acoustic nerves (cranial nerve VIII bilaterally), which carry sound signals from both ears to the brain.
Coding Tips
- •The 'X' is a placeholder; ensure the fifth character specifies bilateral involvement (3=bilateral)
- •Bilateral acoustic nerve disorders may indicate systemic disease; investigate for neurofibromatosis or other underlying conditions
