The ossicles, which consist of the malleus, incus, and stapes, amplify and transmit sound waves from the outer ear to the inner ear across the air-filled middle ear. They function to transfer energy from the middle ear to the inner ear, which contains the fluid-filled cochlea where hair cells convert the energy into electrical signals that are sent to the brain.
