Bell's palsy is a common disorder involving facial nerve. Branches of the facial nerve innervating auriculares muscles could be involved in patients with Bell's palsy. Functions of auriculares muscles were degenerated in the most of human beings, therefore, paralysis of the auriculares muscles in patients with Bell's palsy may be unnoticeable. However, unilateral loss of ear wiggling may be an interesting sign of Bell's palsy in natural ear wigglers who can move their ears voluntarily. The mechanism and muscles responsible for the ear wiggling and the innervations to these muscles were illustrated.
贝尔氏麻痹是一种常见的面神经疾病。面神经的耳肌分支可能会受到贝尔氏麻痹患者的影响。在大多数人中，耳肌的功能已经退化，因此贝尔氏麻痹患者的耳肌瘫痪可能不易察觉。然而，对于那些能够自主活动耳朵的自然耳动者来说，单侧耳朵失去摆动可能是贝尔氏麻痹的一个有趣迹象。本文阐述了耳朵摆动的机制和相关肌肉，以及这些肌肉的神经支配。
