The hammer, also known as malleus, is a tiny bone present in the middle ear. It is one of the three ossicles or small bones in the middle ear that play an essential role in transferring vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. The pinna is the visible part of the outer ear, and the cochlea is situated in the inner ear responsible for converting sound waves into neural signals. The oval window is a membrane-covered opening that connects the middle ear to the inner ear and helps in the transmission of sound waves.
