we check 5-10 nerves because these are affected in Acoustic Neuroma.

Thanks Mahwish,
I suppose, you missed Nystagmus which is part of Cerebeller Examination. Cheers

Another question arises here
Should we ask one or two questions for each of specific causes of vertigo such as air pain or tinnitus (for causes related to ear)? before actual exam?
