VEMPS and Caloric tests are for inner ear/vestibular issues, not sensory processing like a VEP or AEP.
VEP and AEP testing can be stressful because of the processing load it causes. But, that stress should resolve in a day.

Sorry for the confusion. The "air puff" was intended to be a joke. I wasn't aware of the VEP. Sounds stressful.
