Yes, loud sounds for extended periods can damage your hearing.
For frequency ranges, we can hear from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz (20 kHz). This is due to a limit on the length of our cochlear basalar membrane. If it were longer, we may be able to hear a greater range. For loudness, using a standard pressure level (SPL) absolute value system, we can hear at soft as 20 dB SPL (just audible whisper) to about 120-140 dB SPL (which will begin to cause hearing loss and irreversible damage).
hearing sounds from our surroundings with two ears in known as stereophonics hearing .
Hearing (99% certain).
it depends what you classify as "the best hearing" but dolphins and bats have the best sonar hearing and owls have the sharpest hearing with one ear hole above their eye level and one below they can pinpoint the vertical positions of a sound source. :)
Scientists believe that the Velociraptor had the best hearing to coordinate with their superb hunting abilities. The study of the skull of Velociraptors show that they did indeed have excellent hearing. They have a notch in their skull and middle ear bones where the eardrum stretched, allowing them to have acute hearing.
When your ears get more then the loudness of 85 dB for a longer time it is dangerous.
Human hearing is typically between 20 Hz an 20,000 Hz
Extreme loudness can affect our hearing and damage our ears in a few ways. The average human can with stand noise ranging from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz but over time the hair cell's inside our ears can get damaged and broken causing a few problems such as Tinnitus and Hearing Loss.

1. The energy of the sound wave. 2. The sound frequencies and the psychacoustic model that shows the hearing sensetivity of each frequecy.
The psychoacoustic loudness N is measured in sones. The loudness level (Volume) LN is measured in phons. Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion of sone to phon and the problem with dBA".
On what? Hearing? Bottles? You have not specified to what it is affecting.
No - since sound (hearing) operates on a logarithmic scale. So to be twice as loud a sound must be 10 times as "intense".
dB HL stands for decibels Hearing Level and is a unit used to measure the relative loudness perception for an individual with hearing loss. It represents the volume level of sounds that an average person with normal hearing can hear at a given frequency, serving as a reference point for audiologists to determine the extent of a person's hearing loss.

When you lose your sight then your hearing capabilities kick into over drive and you pick up on many more things then you did before, and vise versa.
Human and ant hearing capabilities are very different from each other. The hearing frequency range for an ant is said to be 1kHz.
