H90-H95: Other disorders of ear
H95: Postprocedural disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified
Postprocedural disorders of the ear and mastoid process refer to complications or abnormal conditions that occur after medical procedures or surgeries involving the ear and the mastoid process, part of the temporal bone located in the skull behind your ear. These conditions are caused by direct changes from the procedure itself or indirect effects related to the procedure. Symptoms can vary greatly depending on the specific disorder but may include pain, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), vertigo (dizziness), and discharge from the ear. The progression and severity of these disorders can also differ widely, from short-term mild discomfort to longer-term, more serious conditions, such as infection or damage to structures within the ear. Both the auditory system, responsible for hearing, and the vestibular system, involved in balance, can be affected by these disorders.
