Amphibians hear very well. They can even hear the sounds which humans can not.

Where are their ears located?

Looking closely at a frog, one can spot behind the eyes, on the sides of the head, small circles covered with membrane. This membrane is the eardrum. People have it deep inside the acoustic duct; for most of amphibians, it is locate right outside. Sound waves spreading in air or in water cause it to vibrate; the membrane, in turn, transmits the signal through the auditory ossicle to the inner ear, where the auditory receptors are located. From the inner ear, neural impulses are transmitted to the brain where the auditory picture of the environment is formed.

However, not all amphibians have this kind of auditory system.

For instance, limbless amphibians tunneling in wet and warm soil of the tropics have "seismic" hearing and perceive vibration of the ground by the lower jaw; the sound is transmitted to the inner ear by the skull bones. It is the same with some tailed amphibians.

Most frogs communicate by "singing". This is done by filling up their lungs and moving air back and forth through a voice box and a vocal sac. The sac is usually located under the anurans chin or on the sides of their head. Sounds bounce around in the sac and sound is greatly amplified. Air then moves out of the sac and back into the lungs. The frogs nostrils and mouth are closed during this process. Instead of breathing in like we do to speak, frogs move air back and forth between their lungs and vocal sac.

Not all frogs communicate by singing. Their are many unique ways in which different species may communicate. Some examples include waving their hands or lifting their feet into the air. Pheromones may also play a part.

Yes, because every animal understands the other, and the first time it makes a sound, you see the other animal makes a sound, which shows that animals always talk to each other.

They communicate by their antennas . They have chemical communication too like we do, the queen bee gives off a certain smell, and ants follow a path laid down before them by other ants.

Toads communicate by croaking. These toads may also communicate by releasing pheromones during certain times of the year like mating season.
