Middle Ear and Inner Ear

An Interactive 3D Anatomical Model · By MSD Manual, Professional Edition

This exhibit from the MSD Manual Professional Edition is an interactive 3D model of the middle ear and inner ear. Rotate the anatomy freely and inspect the structures that turn vibration into perception: the tympanic membrane, the ossicle chain of malleus, incus, and stapes, the cochlea, the vestibule, and the semicircular canals.

Labels identify each part as you explore, making the model a compact atlas of the organs of hearing and balance — the destination of every sound in this museum.
