The vestibulocochlear and facial nerves both travel through a canal in the temporal bone, called the internal auditory meatus. The first part of the vestibulocochlear nerve, the vestibular nerve, detects balance from head and body motion. The second part of the vestibulocochlear, the cochlear nerve, receives auditory stimuli. The hair cells, or sensory cells, are responsible for transmitting the information from the inner ear to the brain.
