<P> This is the nerve along which the sensory cells ( the hair cells ) of the inner ear transmit information to the brain . It consists of the cochlear nerve , carrying information about hearing , and the vestibular nerve , carrying information about balance . It emerges from the pontomedullary junction and exits the inner skull via the internal acoustic meatus ( or internal auditory meatus ) in the temporal bone . </P>
