It transmits the facial and acoustic nerves and the internal auditory branch of the basilar artery.
2.
The bone overlying the acoustic nerve is removed, allowing the tumour to expand upward into the middle cranial fossa.
3.
Its called an acoustic neuroma, a type of tumor that envelops and strangles the acoustic nerve that carries signals between the ears and brain.
4.
Until this technology was developed, the best way to test a baby's hearing was by attaching electrodes to his or her head and measuring electrical activity in the acoustic nerve and elsewhere in the brain.
5.
This ridge bifurcates below to enclose a small depression, the fossa cochlearis, which is perforated by a number of holes for the passage of filaments of the acoustic nerve which supply the vestibular end of the ductus cochlearis.
6.
That portion which is lodged in the recess forms a pouch or cul-de-sac, the floor and anterior wall of which are thickened and form the "'macula acustica utriculi "', which receives the utricular filaments of the acoustic nerve.
7.
In 1957, in Paris, Andr?Djourno, a professor of medical physics, and Charles Eyri�s, a Parisian otologist, restored basic hearing to a completely deaf patient with bilateral cholesteatoma by electrically stimulating acoustic nerve fibres still present in the inner ear.
8.
Winding around the inferior peduncle and crossing the area acustica and the medial eminence are a number of white strands, the stri?medullares, which form a portion of the cochlear division of the acoustic nerve and disappear into the median sulcus.
9.
Research has proposed there are two distinct categories of subjective tinnitus : otic tinnitus, caused by disorders of the inner ear or the acoustic nerve, and somatic tinnitus, caused by disorders outside the ear and nerve, but still within the head or neck.
10.
It measures the signal as it travels along the acoustic nerve up to the brain stem, and it measures whether the signal is getting through, and whether it's normal in terms of the time it takes to get to the brain stem ."
