Kangaroos have the ability to hear very well: they can twitch their ears independently around to determine the direction of specific sounds, much as a cat does. This gives them plenty of forewarning of danger.

How does a kangaroo use its ears to catch things?

The kangaroo does not use its ears to catch anything. To begin with, the ears are not prehensile, and all they can do is rotate to listen carefully for predators. Secondly, very few species of kangaroos are anything but omnivores. No doubt the bettongs and musky rat-kangaroos which are omnivores use their ears to carefully listen for the movement of invertebrates, but that is completely the extent to which any kangaroo will use its ears for catching food.
