Summary
A caloric vestibular test refers to a qualitative test that involves sequentially irrigating both ears with water, either warm or cool but not both (monothermal), while evaluating the patient’s eye movements. This helps measure the disturbance in the patient’s vestibular system and assesses the function of the nerves involved in hearing and balance.
