The three auditory ossicles are bones of the middle ear.

There are no bones elsewhere in the ear (none in inner ear).

  • tympannic side = malleus or hammer
  • middle = incus or anvil
  • oval window side = stapes or stirrup

What transfers vibrations to the inner ear?

No. Vibrations are changed into signals by the "hairs" (a part of nerve cells, not real hair) in the inner ear. The function of the bones of the middle ear is to change the low pressure, high amplitude sound waves into high pressure, low amplitude waves - for the inner ear to process.

Why don't are ears have bones?

Ears do contain bones - the smallest bones in the human body, called the ossicles, are found in the middle ear. These bones (the malleus, incus, and stapes) are essential for transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. The outer and inner parts of the ear do not contain bones but comprise cartilage and soft tissues to support their structure and function.
