Skip to content Another Major Health Challenge
In June 2022, Bieber experienced another serious health issue when he announced that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
The condition caused facial paralysis on one side of his face.
The University of Colorado’s School of Medicine explained that Ramsay Hunt syndrome involves reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus affecting the facial nerve. It can cause facial paralysis and may also involve symptoms such as ear pain, hearing problems and dizziness.
Bieber shared a video showing the effect the condition had on his face.
For an entertainer whose career depends heavily on performing and communicating with audiences, the experience was understandably frightening.
He temporarily stepped back from some professional commitments while focusing on recovery.
The episode became another reminder that public figures can experience serious health problems just like anyone else.
