The three auditory ossicles are bones of the middle ear.

There are no bones elsewhere in the ear (none in inner ear).

  • tympannic side = malleus or hammer
  • middle = incus or anvil
  • oval window side = stapes or stirrup

There are no bones in the inner ear.

However there are three auditory ossicles (little bones) in the middle ear.

Of these three, the innermost is the stapes/stirrup which is imbedded in the oval window and conducts sound vibrations into the fluid environment of the inner ear.

There are no bones in the fluid environment of the inner ear.

The auditory ossicles are located in the middle ear. Their function is to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.

What transfers vibrations to the inner ear?

No. Vibrations are changed into signals by the "hairs" (a part of nerve cells, not real hair) in the inner ear. The function of the bones of the middle ear is to change the low pressure, high amplitude sound waves into high pressure, low amplitude waves - for the inner ear to process.
