Dogs are very sensative to it so I think it might hurt their ears. But who knows maybe they could be singing :)
Of course it hurts! Do not crop dog's ears! Don't listen to them, you can have a dogs ears cropped. Obviously it does hurt them, but that is okay.
He plugged the sirens ears and avoided the Charybdis
They have wax in their ears so that they can not hear the sirens' singing.

Yes, unfortunately, they can. Some dogs may not be hurt, though. They may simply be surprised or scared of the loud noise/big shiny metal thing.
These was the Sirens.

A dog may howl when an ambulance passes by because the high pitch of the ambulance siren is irritating to the dog on a level greater than it is to humans. Dogs have very sensitive ears and lots of sounds may bother them and cause them to howl.
He told them to put wax in their ears, so they wouldnt hear the sirens.
Dogs howl as a form of communication. It is an instinctual response learned from their wolf ancestry that allows them to locate other dogs. Some dogs howl more than others and some don't howl at all. Other dogs, such as mine, howl because loud/high pitched noises agitate them, anger them, or hurt their ears, which is down to their sensitive hearing. It's just their nature. It's like you screaming at a concert, for FUN! Dogs howl because they are trying to communicate with something or in certain cases, if another dog is howling your dog is trying to state an emotion or give a hint to another dog. For example, a dog might howl at another dog because it is trying to tell the other dog it is in their territory.
Filled their ears with candle wax so they wouldn't hear the Sirens' song.
