Key Concepts

Ossicles

The ossicles are the trio of tiny bones located in the middle ear, known commonly as the hammer (malleus), anvil (incus), and stirrup (stapes). These bones work together to transmit and amplify sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear, which is essential for the process of hearing.

Middle Ear

The middle ear is the section of the ear that functions as a mechanical link between the outer ear and the inner ear. It houses the auditory ossicles and is pivotal in the process of hearing by translating sound waves into mechanical vibrations that are further processed as they pass to the inner ear.
