This ice water in the ear canal sounds very stange to me. I knew it was a test for something but couldn't remember what & that it produces temporary nystagmus, a quick movement of the eyes away from the side where of the cold ear.
Now that I'm home from work & checked, it's a old test to figure out if a person has had damage to their acoustic nerve & to test for diff causes of vertigo. As a method to jumpstart one's brain, it sounds awfully weird.
