There is no specific number that I know of that describes how much "better" a dogs hearing is to humans. Dogs can hear better 1. because of the shape of their ears (larger and more cup-shaped than humans) and the muscles that allow the dogs ears to twist and turn to catch sounds, and 2. because dogs have a much higher range of hearing than humans. The typical human can hear anything between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, while the typical dog can hear anything from 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz!

∙ 13y agoA dog hears 4 times louder then a human. That is why dogs get ear infections quite a lot because when we shout there ears hurt. If your dogs has an ear infection then it will probably moan all the time and want stroaking. I know this because my dogs does it when i play music too loud. Hope this answer, answers your question :)

∙ 11y agoSound is measured in vibrations, or cycles, per second, termed either cps or hertz. It is accepted that humans can hear 20 to 20,000 hertz, with the optimum range between 1,000 and 4,000 hertz. Agreement among scientists about canine hearing, however, differs. While it is generally acknowledged that dogs hear somewhat less in the ultra-low range and considerably more in the high-frequency range, actual numbers vary widely. Most experts cite upper limits of 35,000 to even 100,000 hertz.
