Detailed explanation-1: -It collects sound waves and channels them into the ear canal (external auditory meatus), where the sound is amplified. The sound waves then travel toward a flexible, oval membrane at the end of the ear canal called the eardrum, or tympanic membrane. Sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate.

Detailed explanation-2: -The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The incoming sound waves cause the ear drum to vibrate. The ear drum sends these vibrations to the three tiny bones in the middle ear called the malleus, incus, and stapes.
