In the inner ear, "sound" is translated into electrical energy. This electrical energy is transmitted to the brain via the 8th cranial nerve more commonly called the auditory, acoustic or vestibulocochlear nerve. The brain receives the information and translates it into what we "hear", or at least into what is most important for us to hear at that time.
The function of the auditory nerve is to transmit auditory signals from the auditory receptors (the ears) to the brain (first auditory cortex on the supra-temporal plane ca 15-20 ms after the sound reach the tympani, and then to higher order auditory networks such as parietal and frontal cortices).
The auditory nerve is a collection of nerves that carries hearing information between the cochleaand the brain. Tiny hairs are moved by the vibrations from within the cochlea and this triggers a translation from sound to nerve impulse which is sent across the auditory nerve to the brain.
The auditory nerve (8th cranial nerve) picks up signals originating in the environment and takes them to the brain for interpretation. That makes the auditory/acoustic/vestibulocochlear nerve a sensory nerve.
This is very thick nerve. It carries the signal from the cochlea and the vestibular apparatus to brain. So that you can hear the sound and get the sense of balance.

Vestibular nerve and cochlear nerve combines to form the vestibulocochlear nerve or the auditory nerve.

Auditory or vestibulocochlear nerve goes to your ear. It exits the skull through internal acoustic meatus along with the facial nerve.

The eighth cranial nerve or the vestibulocochlear nerve is dedicated to auditory apparatus.
Acoustic neuroma is a tumor of the auditory nerve.
The auditory nerve is responsible for relaying vibrations from the cochlea, in the inner ear, to the brain as electrical impulses. The auditory centre of the brain then interprets these as sound.
