The ear is one of the most delicate parts of the body and since a large area of the ear remains unseen and well hidden, it becomes quite difficult to manage certain conditions. The inner ear nerve is a sensory one which is also known as the auditory nerve or vestibulocochlear nerve. It has 2 branches with the first being the cochlear branch that helps to carry sound waves from the inner ear to the brain. The second branch is the vestibular branch which helps in balancing the body correctly. If the inner ear nerve gets damaged due to any reason, it can affect the person’s hearing as well as body balance. Sonus Complete
