Onandon03 asked: Er, how would one ever know?
@Onandon03, you would know from your vestibular test results (not an MRI or CT scan) and whether the results differed from one ear to the other. If you don’t have copies of your test results, make sure that you get copies and always keep a set for yourself. (I keep mine in a 3-ring binder.)
Here are the tests that I’ve had, as an example. All except the last two are testing your ears or balance systems:
- Audiological Analysis [1998, 2016]
- OAE (Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions) [2016]
- BAER (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response) [2016]
- ECoG (Electrocochleography) [2016]
- CDP (Computerized Dynamic Posturography) [1998, 2016]
- VEMP (Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials) [2016]
- V/ENG (Video/Electronystagmography) which included the Dix-Hallpike Maneuver and other positional head testing [1998, 2016]
- Rotary Chair test [1998]
- MRI of the brain, with and without contrast [1995, 2016]
- EEG (Electroencephalogram) [2018]
