Thwack
As Mom has pressure equalization tubes in her ears, she narrowly escaped having water trickled in her ears. Without doing the Chinese water torture test, they cannot say for sure that she does not havve a compensated vestibular issue.

They claimed that they would measure inner ear function via electrodes on her neck muscles but I'm not sure I'm buyin' it...
