I find the alternate strip method and going up and down by whole 
tones also avoids ear fatigue. When going straight up through the dog 
whistle top octave, I find that I start doubting my hearing.  Better 
for me to cleanse the palate, so to speak, by going back to a 
different frequency range, then re-attacking.  By going up and down, 
I'm constantly doing that.
YMMV
