Yes, bats hear very well in order to make up for their poor eyesight. The lowest can be 1 kHz for some species and for other species the highest reaches up to 200 kHz. Bats navigate through echolocation.

Ah yes, that is correct, and many have extraordinarily high vocal and aural band-widths of many tens of kHz, but what is their amplitude sensitivity? Their echo-location is limited to at most a couple of tens of metres, and to compensate for low power their maximum call intensity is very high (>100dB re 20µPa for some species) in order to receive useable echoes, but is their hearing especially acute?

What is the kind of sound that bats and whales use?

Several animal species are able to hear frequencies well beyond the human hearing range. Some dolphins and bats, for example, can hear frequencies up to 100 kHz. This called ultrasound.Elephants can hear sounds at 14–16 Hz, while some whales can hear subsonic sounds as low as 7 Hz (in water).


Which insect can hear ultra sonic sound?

Bats are well-known for their ability to hear ultrasonic sounds, but certain insects, such as moths, can also detect these high-frequency sounds. Specifically, some species of moths have specialized ears that allow them to hear the ultrasonic calls of predatory bats, enabling them to evade capture. This ability to hear ultrasonic sounds plays a crucial role in their survival.

How good do bats hear?

Bats have exceptional hearing abilities that allow them to navigate, communicate, and hunt using echolocation. They can hear ultrasonic sounds at frequencies up to 200 kHz, far exceeding the human range. This acute hearing enables them to detect prey, obstacles, and navigate in complete darkness.
