What is "middle ear "?
The middle ear is a cavity located behind the eardrum and connected to the throat via the Eustachian tube. It contains three small bones called ossicles, which transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. The middle ear plays a crucial role in amplifying and transmitting sound signals to the inner ear for further processing and interpretation by the auditory system.
