Which breeds-of-dogs have the best-hearing?
AnswerTo my knowledge there is no particular list of dog breeds that have better hearing than any other breed. It is indicated the Terrier breeds (similar to the ears of fox) hear much better than dogs with ears that go down. Dogs detect sounds as low as 16 - 20 Hz frequency range compared to 20 - 70 Hz in humans. Dogs also have more mobility of the ears and can quickly pinpoint the source of the sound. 18 or more muscles can tilt, raise, lover or rotate a dog's ears. If your dog barks and YOU hear nothing your dog can hear much further than you can and it can be a few blocks or more they hear the sound.
How sensitive is a dog's hearing?

Can dogs hear rodent repellers?
Yes, dogs can hear rodent repellers because they are sensitive to high-frequency sounds that these devices emit.
How do dogs hear?
They can hear low sounds about as well as humans (40 Hz, compared to our 20 Hz), and can hear sounds that are a quite a bit higher (60,000 Hz, compared to our 20,000 Hz). They are more sensitive to loud sounds - loud noises that humans can tolerate may be painful to dogs. The flipside of this is that they can hear sounds that are 4 times farther away.
Audible sounds dogs hear but humans cant?

Why do dogs' ears keep twitching?
Dogs' ears twitch to help them hear better and to express their emotions. The muscles in their ears are sensitive and can move to catch different sounds or show how they are feeling.
