The mandible (jaw).
Unless you want to consider the 3 small bones in each inner ear (hammer, anvil and stirrup).

The mandible is the only bone in the skull that can move. The other 28 bones in the skull are joined together by jagged joints and sutures that limit movement to almost nothing.

The mandible (inferior maxillary bone)(together with the maxilla) is the largest and strongest bone of the face. It forms the lower jaw and holds the lower teeth in place. The mandible consists of a curved, horizontal portion, the body, and two perpendicular portions, the rami, which unite with the ends of the body nearly at right angles.

The mandible or lower jaw, formed by the fusion of the paired branches of the dentary bone.
The three middle ear ossicles: hammer (malleus), anvil (incus) and stirrup (stapes), derived from mandibular bones that had different arrangement and function in non-mammalian tetrapods.
The hyoid bone, a U-shaped element situated in the base of the tongue. It is part of the splanchnocranium or viscerocranium, like our jaws.

The auditory ossicles in the tympanic cavity namely malleus ,incus and stapes .They vibrate to sound impinging on the ear drum and transmit the vibration to the internal ear where the auditory apparatus is located.
