Blue whales primarily use their ears to detect sounds underwater, which is crucial for communication and navigation in their vast ocean habitats. Their ears are adapted to pick up low-frequency sounds, allowing them to hear the calls of other whales over long distances. This auditory ability helps them locate food, such as krill, and navigate through the ocean effectively. Additionally, hearing plays a vital role in social interactions within their species.

Because of the oil drilling in deep sea. Whales have very sensitive ears because they use sonar to locate food and navigate in their surrounding. The ears are like our eyes to them.
