I can only tell you what IS included in the auditory ossicles:

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

The semicircular canal found in the inner ear is filled with a fluid. It deals with the vestibular sense, not the auditory sense.

What part do the bone in the middle ear play in the process of us hearing sound?

The "bone you are referring to is your hearing chain, so yes it affects your hearing. I know this because my daughter growing up had what is referred to as a cholesteatoma. A mass of skin that takes up residence behind the eardrum, that although is not cancerous acts like it is. It crawls and weaves around the hearing bone, It destroyed her ear drum and her hearing chain (bone). She now has a plastic (artificial) hearing bone but still only has 10% of her hearing in that ear. the only way to explain it is this... If you have a cup of water with a straw in it 6 inches from your mouth can the liquid get to your mouth? Same thing, the noise goes into your ear but stops where the straw ends thus filtering the sound. Any child that has more ear infections than what seams normal should be checked really well for this. My daughter had her first set of tubes when she was 14 months old. The cholesteatoma was missed by an ent when she was 10 even though here ear was bleading and oozing green stuff.


The receptors for hearing and equilibrium are located in the?

The cilia or hair cells that are found in between the tectorial and basilar membranes, which make up the organ of corti a part of the inner ear.
