The pinna - includes ear the canal. It is a narrow passageway where dust or dirt is collected. It is also where earwax is produced.

Middle ear - The 

job of the middle ear is to make sound louder. It is an air - filled space consisting of eardrum and three tiny bones. The eardrum  is a thin membrane that vibrates and receives sound waves from the outer ear. The three tiny bones pick up the vibrations and carry them to the inner ear.
