Detailed Solution

The three ear ossicles are: the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup). The stapes is directly attached to the oval window, which is a membrane-covered opening between the middle ear and the inner ear. 

The incus, or anvil is attached to the malleus on one side and the stapes on the other. It is not directly attached to the oval window.

The tympanum (eardrum) is a thin membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear. It is not directly attached to the oval window.

The malleus, or hammer, is the first of the three middle ear ossicles. It is attached to the tympanum on one side and the incus on the other.
