The Inner Ear has two main parts that gives it its main function.
The first one is the cochlea which is one of the three smallest bone in the human body. It is mainly functioning for hearing. The second one is the vestibular system. It is the one responsible for balance. The inner ear also converts sound waves into neural signals in a process called transduction and sends these neural signals out to the brain.

What are the functions of the three main parts of the human ear?
The three main parts of the ear are the outer ear, middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear's function is to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear. The middle ear's function is to protect the inner ear from damaging sounds. In the inner ear, sound waves are converted into nerve impulses which are transmitted to the brain to be interpreted. The inner ear also serves as the main organ of balance for the body.

Function of the hammer anvil stirrup?
Hearing. They transmit the sound vibrations from the ear drum to the inner ear.
WHAT THE FUNCTION OF THE MIDDLE EAR?
The tympanic membrane in the middle ear transforming sound waves into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations stimulate the inner ear.
What is the function of the stirrup in the ear?
AKA Stapes. it transmits sound vibrations from the incus to the membrane in the inner ear. hope this helps!
Function of pinna or outer ear?
The pinna helps focus sound into the inner ear and determine the direction from which the sound originates.
