The ultimate guide to the cranial nerves continues with cranial nerve VIII, the Vestibulocochlear Nerve, this is the cranial nerve which allows us to hear, and informs our sense of balance

In this video, we'll review how to assess hearing, particular conductive and sensorineural hearing loss via Weber's and Rinnes tests

Over this series of videos, I'll be covering what most people have asked for, additional information on

The normal function of each cranial nerve
How / why any special tests are performed
crucially what is being looked at during each step of the examination.

I'm hoping to have this whole series finished this week - it was previously going to be delivered as a single video, but I think it would be more useful for people to be able to jump in and out to the various nerves they are wanting extra information on

Keep dropping the comments, and I'm really grateful for all the improvements people are suggesting, which is helping this channel to evolve - THANK YOU
