The Outer Ear. The outer ear consists of the pinna (the part we can see), and the ear canal down to the eardrum. This part of the ear has several functions relating to hearing. The pinna acts like a funnel; it collects sounds and directs them down our ear canal.
There are three components of the ear subserving hearing function: outer ear, middle ear, inner ear. The outer ear consists of the pinna, which collects sound waves, and the external auditory meatus, ending at the tympanic membrane. Internal to this tympanic membrane is the middle ear containing three bones, the malleus, incus and stapes.
