 Your Middle Ear consists of five parts:

    1: Your Malleus

    2: Your Incus

    3: Your Stapes

    4: Your Tympanic Cavity

    5: Your Eustachian Tube



    You Middle Ear is a small section of your ear. Its three bones (the Malleus, Incus, and Stapes) carry on with the next task of hearing. The three bones are used to transfer the viberations of the Ear Drum to the Inner Ear.

    The Middle Ear is literally the bridge from the Outer Ear to the Inner Ear. The bones are really suspended in the Tympanic Cavity.
