TL;DR Summary

Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Justin Bieber were both diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare neurological disorder caused by the varicella-zoster virus that can lay dormant in the body after chickenpox or shingles. Symptoms include a painful rash, vertigo, tinnitus, and facial weakness or paralysis. Treatment includes steroids and antiviral medication, and early diagnosis and prompt treatment can improve outcomes. About 70% of people with Ramsay Hunt will regain complete or almost complete function of facial muscles, and recovery time can take up to a year.
