Best Answer

The three 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. Their names are:

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