Ossicles are small bones located in the middle ear that play a crucial role in the process of hearing. There are three ossicles in each ear: the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup). These bones transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the oval window of the inner ear, amplifying the sound. Their proper functioning is essential for effective hearing.
