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.
The ear is made up of three parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. All three parts of the ear are important for detecting sound by working together to move sound from the outer part through the middle and into the inner part of the ear.Ears also help to maintain balance.he outer ear includes: 1  auricle (cartilage covered by skin placed on opposite sides of the head). 2  auditory canal (also called the ear canal). 3  eardrum outer layer (also called the tympanic membrane).
