They look like seals that have big ears.

Some seals do.
The only difference between the two are that one has ears, and one is a natural no eared seals! Simple!
Sea lions are in the family Otariidae ("eared seals"), therefore they have external ears and hear stuff very much the same way we do. The family Phocidae ("earless seals") has no visible ears, but can still hear.
True seals have ears, just not external ears. Their ears are simple holes on the sides of their heads, but they have the same general internal ear structures as any other mammal. Sound carries very well in water, so true seals can hear perfectly well when submerged. Note that other marine mammals - whales, dolphins, manatees and such - also lack external ears. In air, they can still hear, but perhaps not as well as some other mammals.
Sea lions have external ears and seals do not.
No, harp seals do not have the pinna that we associate with the outer (visible) part of the ear. This does not mean they cannot hear; they hear well under and above water, although their hearing is not as sensitive above water as a human's.
Seals are aquatic mammals. There are about 32 species of seals. There are two types of seals: the earless, or true, seals (family Phocidae); and the eared seals (family Otariidae), which are sea lions and fur seals. In addition to the presence of external ears, eared seals have longer flippers than earless seals.
