Yes. "Dog's sense of hearing has an almost equally important role within their world. Not only do dogs have a highly developed sense of hearing that can hear a wide range of sounds but they also have the ability to pin point the exact origin of the sound, discriminate between sounds and make a accurate interpretation of the sound, and decided whether it is threatening or non-threatening.
As dog's ears are able to move in different directions, it is easier for dogs to pinpoint the exact location of a sound's origin. The frequencies that dogs can perceive and hear are almost twice that of humans and they can pick up and distinguish sounds at roughly 4 times the range of humans.
Dogs have specially designed inner ears that allow them to have this incredible ability and their ears operate almost like radars. Not only do dogs hear the sounds but also perceive the height and depth of the sounds that they hear. Dogs also have the ability to hear ultra high frequencies that humans cannot and many professional dog handlers and trainers use this ability to their advantage by teaching them and training them to respond to different commands given on whistles that produce ultra high frequency sounds.

∙ 10y agoSome animals just have the abilities that are different than other animals like the fact that dogs can hear at higher registers (sounds). Elephants hear at lower ones than we do and dogs can't see red but we can.
It really depends on what is or was important in their environments so that they can hear or see food or enemies or even to keep track of others in the herd or packs.

Does a dachshund have good hearing?
They can hear low sounds about as well as humans (40 Hz, compared to our 20 Hz), and can hear sounds that are a quite a bit higher (60,000 Hz, compared to our 20,000 Hz). They are more sensitive to loud sounds - loud noises that humans can tolerate may be painful to dogs. The flipside of this is that they can hear sounds that are 4 times farther away.
Why are animals such as dogs able to hear sounds human cannot?
Dogs and most animals rely on their hearing more than we do. As humans, we rely on eyesight and primates overall have better eyes than other animals.
How can dogs hear everything?
well if you have a dog, and it barks at the door when no one is their then it hears rather someone walking past your house or maybe a chipmunk. Dogs are intelligent very intelligent but not always they do what you say because they are more distracted on something else then what you are saying cuz they hear something you dont.
Can dogs hear bat noises?
depends if there are bats.The dogs can hear them, but don't seem to pay any attention to the bats. The dogs are simply not any more interested in a bat up in the sky, than they are a songbird trilling on a branch.By they way, humans can indeed hear some (but not all) of the sounds that bats make. Hard to describe, but sharp clicks that we can all hear. The bats love to come and hunt the insects that are drawn to sodium lights (street lights). Sometimes we watch them dive and swoop, eating the bugs, just for fun.
Why can a dog hear a dog whistle but a human can not?
There is a dog whistle that only dogs can hear because they can hear higher frequencies than humans. However, it has been found that both dogs and kids can hear, but adults can't. This is because as people age, they are not able to hear sounds above a certain frequency. The pitch, in other words, is too high for them. Being able to hear a dog whislte only means that you can hear higher frequencies.
Why can animals especially dogs hear sounds humans can't hear?
because of more efficient hearing power than humans and it is because of the frequency.
How do dogs hear?
They can hear low sounds about as well as humans (40 Hz, compared to our 20 Hz), and can hear sounds that are a quite a bit higher (60,000 Hz, compared to our 20,000 Hz). They are more sensitive to loud sounds - loud noises that humans can tolerate may be painful to dogs. The flipside of this is that they can hear sounds that are 4 times farther away.
Audible sounds dogs hear but humans cant?
As a hunter, dogs have evolved to have better hearing than humans. They can even hear voles/lemmings scurrying round under the snow!!
Do dogs get scared when they see something you cannot see?
Since dogs can hear high pitched sounds humans cannot hear, it is more likely a dog becomes frightened or upset from something the dog hears that you cannot hear.

Do humans hear everything animals hear?
No. It is scientifically proved that certain animals hear more than humans. Many animals have a higher range of sounds they can hear but humans cannot. Dogs for example, can hear sounds as high as 60,000 Hz while the human range is within 20,000Hz. Lower base ranges 20 to 80 Hz are felt more than heard in many animals so while they will react, it is more fright and flight than recognition of specific sound.This is why animals can hear things like dog whistles, and we can't hear them, or if you do it is really hard to hear them. In all, animals can hear differently than humans in the way that they can hear more.

How do dogs use sound?
oh my god I'm talking about does it hurt a dogs ears when they hear ultrasound frequency.

Why do humans use whistles that humans cant hear?
most animals like dogs can hear more higher pitches than us so they can hear it, you should not blow it too much, because it will hurt their ears.
Are there more humans or dogs?
There are more humans than dogs.
Why dog whistle is heard by dog but not man?
The frequency of the sound is too high for humans to hear, but dogs have more sensitve ears and can hear at higher frequencies.
