I hope you can forgive my ignorance, but how can an MRI of the spine and upper neck be relevant to a vestibular issue?

BTW - Electrocochleography is performed by having you lie on a table, with electrodes connected to your forehead (I believe they can also connect them to other places). It measures electrical impulses while your ears are stimulated by a series of clicks. It took about half an hour in my case. The electrodes were mounted just above nose bridge and at top of forehead. They used an abrasive sponge to get them to take to the skin, and it left marks for a week or so later - I was a bit concerned people might recognise the marks and think I'd flown over the cuckoo's nest!
