Anvil, hammer and stirrup bone. The fusion or immobilization of the bones leads to hearing loss because the bones do not move or vibrate in response to sound waves.

<h3>What happened when the bones of the middle ear fuse together? </h3>

They transmit sound waves to the cochlea (inner ear), converting them into signals sent to the brain. In otosclerosis, the stapes ("legs") begins to fuse with surrounding bone, eventually becoming fused making it unable to move.

<h3> What is the function of the oval frame and window? </h3>

The function of the middle ear is to transmit movement of the tympanic membrane (or tympanic membrane) to the inner ear. This enhance increases the pressure on the connective tissue of the oval window. This pressure is eventually transmitted through the stapes, pressing against the oval window, to the cochlea.

Andrews [41]
If they keep killing sharks, then the shark population will become extinct, I'm not sure if anyone wants to put a stop to it at all. About 100 million sharks are killed by humans every year.
