There are three bones in each human ear, known as the ossicles. These tiny bones are the malleus, incus, and stapes, also referred to as the hammer, anvil, and stirrup due to their shapes. These ossicles are responsible for transferring sound vibrations from your eardrum to your inner ear.
The middle ear also houses the eustachian tubes, which play a crucial role in equalizing air pressure in your ears.
