Brief Explanations
Caloric testing is a vestibular test that assesses the function of the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It involves introducing warm or cold water or air into the ear canal to stimulate the semicircular canals of the inner ear. The response of the eyes (nystagmus) is then observed. This test helps in diagnosing disorders related to the vestibular system, which is innervated by CN VIII.
