degeneratio nervi acustici

disagree  Sven Petersson: "Nervi" is plural. - Addendum: the singular form is "nervus". Please see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nervi

  -> Thanks, I stand corrected. I had genitive at the back of my mind, but that of course is nervis. However, I did warn the asker to check independently - and would have done myself it it had been my text... Season's Greetings!

agree  Chris S: nervi is singular - ICD has acoustic nerve
