Not necessarily. Other animals evolved large ears to hear better, but we're talking REALLY large, compared to their other sense organs.

If your ears were, say, three feet long instead of just an inch or two, then you MIGHT be able to hear better, IF all the other parts of the auditory sensing system were advanced as well - the nerves carrying signals to your brain, etc.

The size of your ears doesn't matter because, if you take a a dog as your example they can hear things that we humans can not like a dog whistle.
