ABSTRACT
Oculostapedial synkinesis following Bell's palsy, Ramsay Hunt syndrome and traumatic facial nerve paralysis is a rarely reported phenomenon. Oculostapedial synkinesis accompanying with hemifacial spasm also has been reported. We experienced a 51-year-old woman with persistent loud rumbling noise from her left ear related with voluntary left eye closure compatible with oculostapedial synkinesis after Bell's palsy. We objectively proved this oculostapedial synkinesis with impedance audiometry. The patient was successfully treated by transmeatal tenotomy of the left stapedius muscle tendon under local anesthesia.
