It is the middle of three bones in the middle ear that serve to relay the vibrations of sound from the eardrum to the inner ear.

Explanation:

Commonly known as the hammer, anvil and stirrup, these three bones cause the vibrations of the eardrum to be mechanically relayed to the inner ear and the cochlea.

The true medical name is the incus.
