Best Answer

The temporal bones, part of the cranium (skull), contain and protect the organs of hearing.

Within the ears are functional, rather than protective, bones of the middle ear. There are three of them, the Maleus, Incus and Stapes. They act to transmit vibrations from the outer ear to the inner ear.

The temporal bone of the skull protects the three chambers of the ear and the very delicate auditory ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear. The ossicles do not protect anything. Their sole function is to amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
