| 1. | The cochlear nerve runs antero-inferiorly and the inferior vestibular nerve runs postero-inferiorly.
|
| 2. | The cochlear nerve is lateral to the root of the vestibular nerve.
|
| 3. | In humans, there are on average 30, 000 nerve fibers within the cochlear nerve.
|
| 4. | Damage to the cochlear nerve will cause partial or complete deafness in the affected ear.
|
| 5. | "Neural ", or'retrocochlear', hearing loss occurs because of damage to the cochlear nerve ( CVIII ).
|
| 6. | The auditory nerve, also called the cochlear nerve, then transmits action potentials to the central auditory nervous system.
|
| 7. | The cochlear nerve travels away from the cochlea of the inner ear where it starts as the spiral ganglia.
|
| 8. | Recent research, reported in 2012 achieved growth of cochlear nerve cells resulting in hearing improvements in gerbils, using stem cells.
|
| 9. | They work by artificial stimulation of the cochlear nerve by providing an electric impulse substitution for the firing of hair cells.
|
| 10. | Cochlear nerve fibers ( 30, 000 + ) each have a most sensitive frequency and respond over a wide range of levels.
