Hi all!

Today I went to the Elks Hearing and balance, the office in Nampa, Idaho. 
They did what they call E N G (I think the letters should be together in 
print, but for the sake of screen readers, I space them.)

First, i had to have an 8-hour fast.  The doctor placed electrodes at about 
the temples, in the center of my forehead, and under my right eye.  He tried 
to get a recording on what my eyes were doing, as well as telling me to open 
or close, and turn my eyeballs left and right, which is sort of hard for me 
to do, as I don't have much feedback and never really used my eyes 
regularly.  He also tried to track my eyes without my conscious 
participation, carrying on conversations with me so that my mind was 
somewhat distracted.  Later he worked with my ears.  for each ear, he 
sprayed in pressured streams of cold water for 30 seconds, then did 
something else, I didn't get quite what, so that it lasted about 2 minutes, 
while I prattled away, telling stories, reciting poems, etc.  Then he did 
the same with rather hot water.  the interesting thing is, when he played 
with my right ear, I felt dizzy, as he said I might, and especially when he 
used hot water.  but in the left, I didn't feel as much.

I find it interesting that they canceled these tests, when I went through 
the process 2 or 3 years ago, but they wanted to try it now.
