The greatest claims for hearing distances is in the water. Whales are said to hear over the width of the Atlantic Ocean. This is because water is 'practically' incompressable so little energy is dissapated through enthropic heating and the sound just keeps on going and going and going......

How is animal hearing different to human hearing?

Animal hearing can be more sensitive and have a wider range of frequencies than human hearing. Some animals can also hear ultrasonic sounds that are beyond the human hearing range. Additionally, animals like dogs have the ability to hear higher frequencies and sounds from further distances compared to humans.


What land animal has the best sense of hearing?

Whoever edited my answer is almost right, but not quite. :) Yes the bat has fabulous hearing but out of the entire animal kingdom it does not have the best hearing, as far as being able to hear on a large decibel scale. The moth still holds that record as they can detect sounds in a gigantic range of frequencies from 1,000 and 240,000Hz. Given scientific parameters though it's not certain what would qualify as far as acuteness of hearing, sharpness, range of frequency, etc. What IS certain is that there really is no way that these "concepts" can be proven in such a way to tell you definitively that there is a "BEST".


Which animal has the best hearing?

The animal with the best hearing is generally considered to be the barn owl.

Do animal ears work differently?

Although some of the physical structures of animal ears are similar to humans, the hearing range of the animal causes their ears to work differently.


What does the term hearing range mean?

Hearing range refers to the span of frequencies that a human or animal can perceive through their auditory system. For humans, this typically ranges from about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). Variations in hearing range can occur due to factors such as age, exposure to loud sounds, or individual differences in hearing ability. Beyond this range, sounds may be inaudible or perceived differently.
