The smallest bones are the ear ossicles, three bones that are found in the middle ear. They are called the stapes ("stirrup"), incus ("anvil"), and malleus ("hammer"). The three ossicles transmit sounds from the air to the fluid-filled labyrinth (cochlea). Without these bones, you would have moderate to severe hearing loss. "Ossicles" litterally means "tiny bones."
