The sound through water travels 300 miles per hour (INCORRECT)

It travels at about 10 times that speed in water - closer to 3000 miles per hour, although the purity of the water, the temperature and the pressure will also affect the speed.

Why we can hear sounds better in air then we can underwater.?

Sound travels faster in water than in air, but water is denser and less compressible which results in higher sound attenuation. This means sound waves weaken and lose energy more quickly in water, making them harder to hear compared to in air. Additionally, our ears are specifically adapted to detect sound in air, which further contributes to hearing sounds better in air than underwater.
