The malleus was a hammer-shaped small bone of the middle ear, which connected with the incus and was attached to the inner surface of the eardrum.

In 2370, Julian Bashir falsely claimed Quark dislocated the malleus in his lobe after fighting T'Kar in order to distract the Klingon mercenary Yeto so Bashir and Quark could free Odo. (DS9: "Invasive Procedures")

In 2371, Kes was studying medical texts to become a nurse on board the USS Voyager. The Doctor tested Kes on the various parts of the middle ear, including the malleus. (VOY: "Eye of the Needle")
