Mice, rats and bats have "microtype" ear ossicles with a large lump of bone called an orbicular apophysis. This increases their mass and moment of inertia. Microtype ears are more sensitive to sounds above 10kHz and less sensitive to sounds below 2kHz.

Ear ossicles
What connects the tympanic membrane to the inner ear?

What material surrounds the ossicles of the middle ear?
The temporal bone.
Does the eardrum turn sound waves entering the ear into vibrations that moves the ossicles?
middle ear
What is between the cochlea and the ossicles?
The last of the ossicles of the middle ear is the stapes. It delivers the sound vibrations to the oval window separating the air environment of the middle ear from the fluid environment of the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, vestibule and semicircular canal.
What parts of the ear magnify the sounds you hear?
The ear ossicles in the middle ear.The ear ossicles are three bones namely malleus,incus and stapes which amplifies and transmits the vibrations from tympanic membrane to the oval window.
