Although this is one of the smallest bone in the body, it was once making you eat!
One of the most complex mechanisms of hearing is the fact that there are three tiny bones inside your ear which amplify the sound coming to the ear and generate a signal which is then send to the brain for perception!
If these were not available then you do have hearing loss which is really severe. Of course there are some surgeries whose only aim is to either correct the issues of the bone or even the drum to which the bones are attached!
It is almost magical to see how a surgery on this small bone gets the hearing back!
But (now that was seen a mile away!); did you know that this amplification is actually only a recent or latest modification!?
Apparently over the course of the evolution of mammals, one bone from the lower and one from the upper jaw (the articular and quadrate bones) lost their purpose in the jaw joint and migrated to the middle ear.
The shortened columella connected to these bones within the middle ear to form a chain of three bones, the ossicles, which serve to effectively transmit air-based vibrations and facilitate more acute hearing!
In simple terms, the bones which help you in hearing now were in the past used for biting!
Now is that why listening to some words, your actual jaws start to grind! Possible!
Then again by evolution it has been understood that you must eat less and listen more!
Also see more! Then you will realise that the funny guy from Arya is the serious dude of Pushpa! Indukuri Sunil Varma or Sunil!
Shubh ratri!
