Hi...as far as I am aware it is the ear drum that vibrates........... the sound having been collected by the visible part of the ear then directed through the ear canal to the ear drum thus causing the anvil, the hammer and the stirrup (the 3 bones in the ear) to vibrate......... hope this helps

∙ 12y agoI think, I'm not sure if it is the eardrum...
That's why I came on wikianswers to see the answer.

Where does the sound vibrate in the ear?
ear drum
Does the canal vibrate in your ear?
No. The vibrations start at the ear drum.
What does incus do for the ear?
it is one of the three bones in your ear. they vibrate, enabling you to hear
What part of the ear vibrate as it struck by the sound waves and thereby makes the three small bones move?
the hamer,anvil,stirrup
What are the Stirrups in the ear What do they do?
Sound is collected by the pinna (the visible part of the ear) and directed through the outer ear canal. The sound makes the eardrum vibrate, which in turn causes a series of three tiny bones (the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup) in the middle ear to vibrate. The vibration is transferred to the snail-shaped cochlea in the inner ear; the cochlea is lined with sensitive hairs which trigger the generation of nerve signals that are sent to the brain.
What is the anvil in your ear used for?
Sound travels by vibrating things. First the molecules in the air vibrate. This makes the ear drum vibrate. This makes three small bones vibrate. The three bones are the anvil, hammer and the stirrup.
What part of a human body are smallest bones located?
They are located inside your ear. it is made up of 3 small bones that vibrate when noise is transferred inwards and allows you ear drums to know what is effectively going on
What part of the ear vibrates when sound waves strike it?
The sound waves come through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (or tympanic membrane). The eardrum is connected to the 3 ossicles of the middle ear: the hammer, anvil and stirrup (or malleus, incus and stapes). The eardrum vibrates the hammer, the hammer vibrates the anvil, the anvil vibrates the stirrup and the stirrup vibrates the cochlea in the inner ear which has hair-like nerve endings called cilia that move when the cochlea vibrates. The auditory nerve sends the vibrations to the brain to be interpreted. That's how we hear! :)
As sound enters the ear it vibrates the at the boundary between the outer ear and middle ear and causing the sound waves to them vibrate the hammer?
ear drum
What is the middle ear used for?
The middle ear contains the three auditory ossicles, which vibrate to transfer the sound to the cochlea in the inner ear.
What job does the ear canal do?
The ear canal would collect sound from the pinna(pinna is another name for outer ear) and directs it to the ear drums to vibrate.
What part of the ear receives sound waves first?
The auricle or pinna of the outer ear acts like a horn to capture the sound waves which are then tunneled into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).
