The ear consists of three basic parts-the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Each part of the ear serves a specific purpose in the task of detecting and interpreting sound. The outer ear serves to collect and channel sound to the middle ear. The middle ear serves to transform the energy of a sound wave into the internal vibrations of the bone structure of the middle ear and ultimately transform these vibrations into a compressional wave in the inner ear.
Sound is conducted through the ear as follows: The outer ear collects and directs sound waves from the environment through the ear canal to the tympanic membrane. The tympanic membrane (ear drum) is a thin membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. Sound waves cause the vibration of the ear drum, which in turn transmits those vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear, called the ossicles, which causes the ossicles to vibrate. The stapes, the innermost of the three ossicles, is connected to the oval window.
