What and where is the auditory nerve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In your head: The auditory nerve is that which transports information from the cochlea (your hearing organ) up into the brain and may also bring some information back. It begins within the temporal bone, which houses the ear, and continues up the brainstem and into the hearing centers in the brain.
