Background: Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is a rare disease that caused by a varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection who common in the geniculate ganglion. RHS causes severe facial nerve damage compared to Bell's palsy but there is an important condition to be evaluated i.e., damage to the vestibulocochlear nerve. Objectives: To reports the cases that include diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognosis of RHS patients. Methods: To observed the case reports from patients admitted to the hospital until patient returns. Case: A 29-year-old man with vertigo symptoms, a mouth congealed, perceived skin efflorescence of the right arm, and hearing loss. Audiogram examination was obtained sensory neural hearing loss desktra with masking bone conduction of 60 dB. Electromyography amplitude results in 70% of frontal muscles, 57% of orbicularis oculi muscle, 40% of nasalis muscle, and 43% of the orbicularis oris. The patient received corticosteroid therapy and performed facial massage. The patient improved after treatment for 2 months with mild facial paralysis and hearing function within normal limits. Conclusions: The RHS patient that observed by audiological examination needs to performed in order to prevent the progression of a threshold reduction.
