The acoustic nerve, also known as the vestibulocochlear nerve, is located in the inner ear. It is responsible for transmitting sound and balance information from the ear to the brain.
The facial nerve and vestibulocochlear nerve pass through the internal acoustic meatus, which is a small bony canal located in the skull.
The nerve leading from the inner ear to the brain
The 8th Cranial nerve has a lot of common names, but it always begins in the inner ear and ends in the brain.Here are names for the same nerve from different texts:Acoustic nerveAuditory nerveCochlear nerveAuditory vestibular nerveVestibulocochlear nerve is the preferred name8th Cranial Nerve
The facial nerve starts to branch at the geniculate ganglion, which is located just after the nerve exits the internal acoustic meatus of the temporal bone in the skull. From the geniculate ganglion, the facial nerve gives rise to branches that innervate different muscles of the face as well as the lacrimal and salivary glands.
The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) passes through the internal acoustic meatus. It carries motor fibers to the muscles of facial expression and also carries taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
The facial nerve and vestibulocochlear nerve pass through the internal acoustic meatus, which is a small bony canal located in the skull.
Acoustic neuroma is a non-cancerous growth (a tumour) in the brain. It grows on the acoustic nerve in the brain, the nerve that controls hearing and balance. The common symptoms are hearing loss and vertigo.
Auditory or vestibulocochlear nerve goes to your ear. It exits the skull through internal acoustic meatus along with the facial nerve.

can cause vertigo and balance difficulties. If the acoustic nerve grows large enough to press against the cochlear nerve, then hearing loss and a ringing (tinnitus) in the affected ear will usually occur
