They serve to transmit sounds from the air to the fluid - filled labyrinth (cochlea). The absence of the auditory ossicles would constitute a moderate - to - severe hearing loss . The term "ossicle" literally means "tiny bone". Though the term may refer to any small bone throughout the body, it typically refers to the malleus, incus, and stapes (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) of the middle ear . The middle ear is one of the smallest bones in the human body . </P> <P> The ossicles are, in order from the eardrum to the inner ear (from superficial to deep): the malleus, incus, and stapes, terms that in Latin are translated as "the hammer, anvil, and stirrup". </P>
