Wow the ear was a lot more complicated, as far as anatomy goes, than I expected.
I believe the part if the ear that I find most interesting is the 3 small bones, malleus, incus and stapes. They are so tiny and help the ear with sounds and protecting the inner parts. They help with sound by vibrating noises off eachother. They also have nicknames. They are also known as the hammer, anvil and stirrup.
They also do implants of the middle ear with these three tiny bones. I was doing a ct with a man that had the implants done. He was able to hear fine and had no complications.
Here is a picture of the three small bones I find so interesting:
