They will simply hear what is around them. Sound, which is vibrations, can travel in water, air and through anything apart from a vacuum.
Whilst underwater, frogs hear sound waves that have been emitted by other frogs and ambient noises also. Frogs use internal ears to process sound signals as well as their lungs, although the sensitivity of the lungs is not as high as that of the ear structure.

They can hear fish, insects, animals and other frogs that are in the water. They hear using their big round ears called tympanum. Frogs can hear under water through the vibration that travels through the water, but they cannot hear sounds that are short and of high frequency.

They can hear water moving. Frogs can hardly hear anything under water, but some species actually call under water during mating time, like the European species Common Spadefoot or Pelobates fuscus.

Sounds, which are nothing more than vibrations, can actually be heard better and further underwater than in air. So I would think frog's ears would be useful both underwater and sitting on land, to detect noise/vibrations of predators and to detect mates.
