The lateral line of a fish detects vibrations in the water and transmits them to the brain. The external ear in humans detects vibrations in air, water, and solids and transmits them to the brain.
Better hearing of the humans
They have an excellent sense of hearing, with a range of hearing similar to the frequencies that humans can detect, but they have the ability to hear lower frequencies than us. Its ears are located in a groove set just back from it; this groove is closed when swimming.
Penguins have better underwater hearing than humans, as they rely on sound to communicate and find prey in the ocean. They are able to hear a wider range of frequencies and are more sensitive to sound vibrations underwater. However, on land, penguins' hearing abilities are similar to those of humans.
The hearing range of a cat is about 70dB - 10.5 octaves, around 1.6 octaves above humans. Humans and cats have a similar hearing range on the lower end of the scale but cats have more advanced hearing therefore can hear a lot more
I suspect that humans have the lowest hearing. Humans no longer need acute hearing to listen out for danger - as an antelope would need to do.
From the use of a hearing aid.
Although some of the physical structures of animal ears are similar to humans, the hearing range of the animal causes their ears to work differently.
Bat uses sonar. Humans don't.
they have different hearing range
