Detailed explanation-1: -The middle ear is separated from your external ear by the eardrum and connected to the back of your nose and throat by a narrow passageway called the eustachian tube. The cochlea, a snail-shaped structure, is part of your inner ear.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tympanic membrane is also called the eardrum. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parts of Middle Ear Anatomy. Middle ear anatomy can be broken down into different parts: the tympanic membrane, the tympanic cavity, the ossicles, and the auditory (eustachian) tube.

Detailed explanation-4: -The eardrum vibrates. The vibrations are then passed to 3 tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles. The ossicles amplify the sound. They send the sound waves to the inner ear and into the fluid-filled hearing organ (cochlea).

Detailed explanation-5: -The auricle (pinna) is the visible portion of the outer ear. 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.
