Though the stapedius is the smallest of all muscles in the body and is located in the middle ear, the styloglossus is the shortest and smallest of all the skeletal muscles.
The tensor tympani is the shortest skeletal muscle in the human body. The stapedius is a skeletal muscle.

∙ 7y agoThe auditory ossicles (malleus, incus and stapes) in the middle ear are the smallest and shortest bones. They vibrate in response to tympanic membrane vibration and carry sound and can amplify or damp it down. This is then picked up by the auditory nerve and interpreted by the brain.

What is the function of the ear muscles?
The muscles of the external area of the ears are vestigial structures which were once useful, but through evolution have lost their usefulness. Monkeys can be seen using these muscles around the ear(s) so that they may better locate a potential predator in the vicinity; moving the ear(s) in different directions. Muscles in the middle ear are mostly used to protect against loud noises, as is the Tensor Tympani muscle. The stadepius is the smallest skeletal muscle in the body, and is used to stabilize the stapes, the smallest bone in the body.
What is the most smallest muscle?
The human body has about 650 muscles-we say "about" because there is some disagreement as to which muscles are separate and that results in different muscle totals. Although the experts don't agree on how many muscles there are in the human body, they do agree that the smallest muscle is the stapedius. Located in the middle ear, the stapedius is a mere 1.27 millimetres long. And what does such a miniscule muscle do? It controls the tiniest bone in the body, the stapes or stirrup bone. The stapes and two other bones conduct sound vibrations through the middle ear.
