The three ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear amplify sound in two ways:
- the size of the eardrum is different from the stapes/stirrup. The concentration of the vibration from the large eardrum to the small stapes, the pressure is much greater. This is called hydraulic multiplication.
- The size of each ossicle is another factor. The malleus/hammer is longer than the incus. the malleus moves a greater distance, and the incus moves with greater force (E = force x distance).

Where is the stapes bone?
The stapes (aka stirrup) is the smallest of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. These "little bones" amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window. The stapes is in direct contact with the oval window.
How many bones are in an ear?
All mammals have the standard 3 auditory ossicles of the middle ear. This sets them apart from the other animals. These bones amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.tympanic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
How the human ear hears sound?
1. The outer ear picks up the sound vibrations 2. These sound waves travel through the ear canal 3. The eardrum vibrates and make 3 tiny bones in the middle ear move 4. These bones send these vibrations to the shell-shaped structure called choqlea 5. The sound vibrations make the liquid in the cocheleq move making the hair move back and forth 6. The hair are joined to the nerves and send signals to your brain
Where is the smallest bones located?
The smallest bones in the human body are located in the middle ear. They are called the ossicles and consist of the malleus, incus, and stapes. These tiny bones play a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
What part of the ear contains the three smallest bones in our body?
The 3 auditory ossicles are "little bones" found in the middle ear. They are the smallest bones in the human body, and each one has its own name:tympanic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup
Where is the stapes bone?
The stapes (aka stirrup) is the smallest of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. These "little bones" amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window. The stapes is in direct contact with the oval window.
Do instruments use resonance to amplify sound?

What can make a shoebox guitar with 2 rubber bands sound louder?
To make a shoebox guitar with two rubber bands sound louder, you can tighten the rubber bands to increase tension, which will produce a sharper and more resonant sound. Additionally, amplifying the soundbox by placing it on a hard surface or inside a larger container can enhance the volume. Using a larger shoebox or adding materials like a resonant board can also help amplify the sound produced.
