Yes, that's correct! Let's break down the process step by step:

1. Sound Collection: Sound waves are first collected by the pinna, the visible part of the outer ear. The pinna's unique shape and structure help in capturing sounds from different directions and funneling them into the ear canal.

2. Sound Transmission: Once the sound waves enter the ear canal, they travel toward the eardrum (tympanic membrane) new audition at the end of the canal. The sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate in response to the changes in air pressure. The eardrum essentially acts as a barrier between the outer ear and the middle ear.

3. Amplification and Transmission: The vibrations of the eardrum are then transmitted to the three small bones in the middle ear, known as the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes). The sequence of events is as follows:

   a. The malleus, or hammer, is attached to the eardrum and receives the vibrations from it. b. The vibrations from the malleus are transferred to the incus, or anvil. c. The incus then passes on the vibrations to the stapes, or stirrup.
