What cranial nerve would involve tightrope walking and listening to music?

Tightrope walking involves balance and coordination, which are controlled by the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). This nerve sends signals from the inner ear to the brain, helping us with our sense of balance and hearing. Listening to music involves hearing, which is also a function of the vestibulocochlear nerve.
