Best Answer

The vestibulocochlear nerve or cranial nerve 8 (CN8) is largely involved with listening to music. However the trigeminal nerve (CN5), which innervates the tensor tympani, and the facial nerve (CN7), which innervates the stapedius muscle, may alter the perception of sound and theoretically affect the perception of music.
