The ear is made up of three different sections that work together to collect sounds and send them to the brain: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. This opens in a new window. The outer ear is made up of the pinna — also called the auricle (say: OR-ih-kul) — and the ear canal.

What is the ear?
The ear is the organ of hearing and balance. The parts of the ear include:
External or outer ear, consisting of:
Pinna or auricle. This is the outside part of the ear.
External auditory canal or tube. This is the tube that connects the outer ear to the inside or middle ear.
Tympanic membrane (eardrum). The tympanic membrane divides the external ear from the middle ear.
Middle ear (tympanic cavity), consisting of:
Ossicles. Three small bones that are connected and transmit the sound waves to the inner ear. The bones are called:
Malleus
Incus
Stapes
Eustachian tube. A canal that links the middle ear with the back of the nose. The eustachian tube helps to equalize the pressure in the middle ear. Equalized pressure is needed for the proper transfer of sound waves. The eustachian tube is lined with mucous, just like the inside of the nose and throat.
Inner ear, consisting of:
Cochlea. This contains the nerves for hearing.
Vestibule. This contains receptors for balance.
Semicircular canals. This contains receptors for balance.
