What the risks are:
A risk is associated with the caloric stimulation part of the test. Excessive water pressure can injure a previously damaged eardrum, but this rarely occurs. Caloric stimulation should not be performed if the eardrum is perforated because of the risk of causing ear infection.
Special considerations:
This test is an adjunct to a caloric stimulation test.
