Your examination reveals that the auditory threshold is indeed elevated in her left ear, whether you use air conduction or bone conduction. You also notice that touching either cornea with a wisp of cotton causes her right eye to blink briskly and her left eye to blink somewhat sluggishly. Then you notice that she seems to have a somewhat asymmetrical smile: The right side of her face moves more than the left. Which of the following best accounts for this patient's list of problems?
