Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (RHS) is one of the leading causes of facial paralysis. Along with sudden onset (within 24-72 hours) facial paralysis, RHS often presents with severe ear pain, dizziness, a blistering rash of the ear, and hearing loss. While often confused with Bell’s palsy, RHS is typically more severe at onset and patients are less likely to make a complete recovery. 

​

The Ramsay Hunt Syndrome Foundation (RHSF) was founded in 2024 to elevate the care and improve the lives of all patients living with RHS.
