How do true seals 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.

What is the classification for a seal?

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.
