The simultaneous binaural bithermal: a caloric test utilizing electronystagmography.
The simultaneous irrigation of both external auditory canals with the bithermal stimulus of Fitzgerald and Hallpike yields responses which demonstrate a greater sensitivity than the alternate irrigation of each ear. The responses were recorded utilizing electronystagmography and were compared to the alternate or regular bithermal performed on the same paitent.
