ohscience: the ossicles, three tiny bones in your middle ear When sound waves reach the eardrum, they cause the eardrum to vibrate. When the eardrum vibrates, it moves the tiny ossicles — from the hammer to the anvil and then to the stirrup. These bones help sound move into the inner ear, among other things.  So cool to actually see this.

the ossicles, three tiny bones in your middle ear

When sound waves reach the eardrum, they cause the eardrum to vibrate. When the eardrum vibrates, it moves the tiny ossicles — from the hammer to the anvil and then to the stirrup. These bones help sound move into the inner ear, among other things. 

So cool to actually see this.
