Is there any link between the size of animal ears and their hearing?

In some cases there is. Some examples of this are certain species of bats which have very large ears, and super-sensitive hearing. Elephants also have very large ears, and exceptional hearing, though they are also able to pick up low frequency vibrations using their trunk and feet, which are packed with special receptors.
On the other hand, owls, which literally just have ear-holes with feather disks to funnel sound into them, have some of the best hearing in the animal kingdom. Generally, if the shape of the ear looks something like a funnel, or if the shape of the ear or something around it looks as though it would direct sound into the ear, the animal will have good hearing.

What is a multimammate mouse?
I recently was given (as a pet, from my sister who bought the little thing) a little white mouse with orange wrapped around her middle. Her tail is about the length of a normal mouse, but her body is a little bigger and her ears are definitely different. (Someone commented that they look like a bat's ears.) I called the pet store where my sister got this animal and they called her a 'multi-mammate mouse,' telling me that it was the link between rat and mice. Not the cross, but the link. She said she had researched it online. So to answer this question, a multimammate mouse/rat is the missing link between rat and mice.
