How’s your hearing?
This week we discuss how hearing is a major player to your balance.
Your hearing check…
There’s too many people who don’t realize the importance of your hearing and the role it can play in your daily function. The vestibulocochlear nerve or auditory vestibular nerve (CN 8) is a cranial nerve that transmits sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain. How you perceive your surroundings has a large affect on how you REACT to your surroundings!
