For this purpose ten adult male sheep were used. The sheep heads were obtained from the local slaughterhouse of Ardanuç district of Artvin province. First, the skulls were cleaned from the muscle and skin. Then, the external ear canal (Meatus acusticus externus) was followed ear ossicles located in the cavum tympani was removed by dissecting. Measurements were taken from 14 different points on the ossicula auditus. In male Hemshin sheep ossicula auditus consists of three bones, os malleus, os incus and os stapes, os lenticulare was found as a processus lenticularis on os incus. The presence of processus lateralis, processus rostralis, and processus muscularis was observed on os malleus. The length of os malleus, os incus and os stapes were measured as right/left 7.00 ± 0.76 / 6.58 ± 0.085 mm, 2.89 ± 0.3 / 2.83 ± 0.68 mm and 1.76 ± 0.13 / 1.88 ± 0.17 mm respectively. The width of the corpus incudis was measured as right/left 2.39 ± 0.40, 2.16 ± 0.40 mm, and the width of the base stapedis was 1.25 ± 0.17/ 1.28 ± 0.15 mm, respectively. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between right and left ossicula auditus (P> 0.05). As a result, a macro anatomical and morphometric study was performed on ossicula auditus of male Hemshin sheep which is not included in the literature. The findings obtained from the study were included in the literature. <br /> </p>}, number={2}
