No, just the opposite. The ossicles actually amplify the vibrations so that when they travel from the tympanic membrane to the coclear fluid, they are 22 times stronger that at the eardrum.

Sound wave vibrations are transmitted by three tiny bones located in the?
The malleus, the incus and the stapes.
What structure picks up sound vibrations?
The malleus is the first of the three auditory ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear. The next on in line is the incus (anvil).tympanic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
Changing electrical vibrations into sound vibrations?
the cochlea convents vibrations into electrical sound
What do vibrations have to do with sound?
Sound is generated by vibrations from many sources and many kinds.
What is the difference between sound waves and vibrations?
Sound waves are resulted due to vibrations.
What is fusion of the ossicles?
Fusion or fixation of the ossicles is where one or more of the three auditory ossicles cannot transmit sound vibrations for a variety of reasons. This does cause "conduction" deafness or hearing loss.
Does the eardrum turn sound waves entering the ear into vibrations that moves the ossicles?
middle ear
How do sound vibrations reach the cochlea when conduction deafness is present?
Sound is conducted to the receptors of the ear through vibrations of the skull bones. This is because in conduction deafness the ossicles are fused such as the stapes foot plate which can fuse to the oval window, and ossicles can fuse to oneanother from overgrowth of bony tissue. Vibrations arent specific this way and detailed so vibrations are picked up by larger surrounding bones which becomes distorted sound.
What two structures are on either end of the ossicles or ear bones?
The 3 ossicles (little bones) are located in the middle ear. Sound waves vibrate the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted by the malleus, incus and stapes to the oval window, which is the "window" to the inner ear where the "sound" is converted into electrical energy and sent to the brain for interpretation. The ossicles don't "connect" anything -- they transmit sound vibrations.
What section of the ear makes vibrations stronger?
The three auditory ossicles of the middle ear amplify and transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
Does the sense of balance occur in ossicles?
The ossicles are the three tiny bones in the middle ear that transmit sound vibrations. The sense of balance occurs in the fluid environment of the inner ear.
How is hearing loss related to the ossicles?
If there is a change to the basic structure or functioning ability of your auditory ossicles, this would result in Conductive Deafness as the ossicles will not be able to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
Part of the ear that amplify the sound waves?
Maleus, incus and stapes are the three small bones from the middle ear that amplify the sound.
What happens if spongy bone grows between the auditory ossicles?
Spongy bone growing between the auditory ossicles is called otosclerosis. This is one of the causes of Conductive Deafness or Hearing Loss where the ossicles are not able to "conduct" the sound vibrations from the eardrum to the oval window. The spongy bone "dampens" the vibrations instead of amplifying them.
The malleus incus and stapers conduct vibrations from the eardrum to what?
The three auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window, and thus into the fluid environment of the inner ear.
Do ossicles equalize pressure?
No, auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations. The auditory tube is the place where the air pressure in the middle ear can be equalized by bringing air in from or out to the pharynx or throat.
Sound wave vibrations are transmitted by three tiny bones located in the?
The malleus, the incus and the stapes.
