3BHow Your Hearing Works
THE VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE
The nerve that takes the information, both auditory (sound) and
vestibular (balance) to the brain is known as the Vestibulocochlear
nerve. One of the 12 cranial nerves, this sensory nerve is responsible
for the transmission of information about the sounds that enter the ear
canal and the movement of the head or body.
Just imagine yourself on an amusement park ride, such as a roller
coaster. Your ears are in overdrive as the sounds of the screams around
you, and maybe your own, are entering your ears. At the same time,
your vestibular system is working hard to make sense of all the input it
is receiving in terms of both head position and movement. Your eyes
are probably sending mixed signals to your cerebellum, and you will feel
that jump in your stomach when you are going over each hill on the
coaster. Your Vestibulocochlear nerve is taking all this information and
passing it on to your brain, which in turn is making sense of it all and
sending its own information to the muscles to compensate for all the
competing signals it has been given.
