What is a hammer in your ear?

Answer 1

Three tiny bones (the smallest bones in the body) amplify the vibrations representing sound from the ear drum and transmit it across the eustacian tube (a cavity that opens into the thoat) to the cochlea. These bones are formally named the "malleus", the "incus", and the "stapes", but they are more commonly known as the "hammer", the "anvil" and the "stirrup".

Answer 2

It's part of a three bone system that amplifies the force of incoming sound, this is necessary because sound looses energy when it goes from air (outside your ear) to watery substance (the fluid in your inner ear).

The way this three bone system works is basically the same as a hydraulic pump and lever system work, based on the areas of the connected bone extremeties and their length.

Answer 3

The hammer (malleus) is one of three tiny bones in the middle ear. The other two are the stirrup (stapes) and the anvil (incus). They help you hear, by conducting vibrations (sound waves) from the ear drum to the cochlea of the inner ear.

Answer 4

To Interprit Sounds

(By The Way I Cant Spell)

The hammer bone, or the malleus is the outermost ossicle in the middle ear. Ossicles are a set of three bones, the malleus, the incus, and the stapes, whose function is is to transmit sound waves from the tympanic membrane to the oval window in the labyrinthine system, in order for sound to be detected, encoded electrophysiologically, and sent to the central nervous system for interpretation.

Answer 5

thehammer is a small bone in the ear their are three the hammer the anvil and the stirrups

Answer 6

It transmits the sound vibrations from the eardrum to the incus.

Answer 7

The hammer is one of the thee small bones in the ear which amplify sound. The proper name of the "hammer" is Malleus.

Answer 8

It is the name of a small bone that helps transmit sound waves from the ear drum to the inner ear. Its proper medical name is malleus.
