Audiological Profiling and Importance of Vestibular Rehabilitation for a Patient with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome: Case Report.
The case report highlights the importance of the rehabilitative approach and the role of audiology in managing patients with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (RHS). RHS is a rare condition characterized by neuropathies involving multiple cranial nerves. Out of three neurological variants noted in the literature, RHS type II is characterized by hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo. The current case report is of a 37-year-old female diagnosed with RHS type II who reported with the complaints of right-sided headache and chronic otalgia. The progression of the disease caused hearing loss and tinnitus on the right side. Subsequently, the patient also developed signs of imbalance, which were not reported till 2 weeks after the onset of other symptoms. Three audiological evaluations were done during the initial visit, treatment phase, and post-treatment. It also helped identify the need for vestibular rehabilitation therapy and medical treatment. A comprehensive team approach and timely intervention aided in the prevention of the long-lasting effects of RHS in this patient. Awareness about the roles of professionals in assessment and management can help significantly improve the quality of life of individuals, especially in syndromes and multiple disabilities.
