The cochlea is an internal part of your ear, and is the part where sound is converted into the movement of tiny hair cells and thus generate electrical signals that we interpret as sound. The cochlea is curled up like a shell, hence the name.

The auditory nerve, which is part of cranial nerve VIII or the vestibulocochlear nerve, connects the hair cells of the cochlea in the inner ear with the cochlear nucleus, located in the brainstem at the junction of the pons and medulla.
The Cochlea is a part of the ear that turns the vibrations in the small bones into electrical information. The electrical information is channeled through the nerves, into the brain.
