Yes. "Dog's sense of hearing has an almost equally important role within their world. Not only do dogs have a highly developed sense of hearing that can hear a wide range of sounds but they also have the ability to pin point the exact origin of the sound, discriminate between sounds and make a accurate interpretation of the sound, and decided whether it is threatening or non-threatening.

As dog's ears are able to move in different directions, it is easier for dogs to pinpoint the exact location of a sound's origin. The frequencies that dogs can perceive and hear are almost twice that of humans and they can pick up and distinguish sounds at roughly 4 times the range of humans.

Dogs have specially designed inner ears that allow them to have this incredible ability and their ears operate almost like radars. Not only do dogs hear the sounds but also perceive the height and depth of the sounds that they hear. Dogs also have the ability to hear ultra high frequencies that humans cannot and many professional dog handlers and trainers use this ability to their advantage by teaching them and training them to respond to different commands given on whistles that produce ultra high frequency sounds.

Does a dachshund have good hearing?

They can hear low sounds about as well as humans (40 Hz, compared to our 20 Hz), and can hear sounds that are a quite a bit higher (60,000 Hz, compared to our 20,000 Hz). They are more sensitive to loud sounds - loud noises that humans can tolerate may be painful to dogs. The flipside of this is that they can hear sounds that are 4 times farther away.


Why are animals such as dogs able to hear sounds human cannot?

Dogs and most animals rely on their hearing more than we do. As humans, we rely on eyesight and primates overall have better eyes than other animals.


How far can dogs hear?

Dogs have a superior sense of hearing compared to humans and can detect sounds from up to four times the distance. They can hear frequencies up to 65,000 Hz, while humans can only hear up to 20,000 Hz. The exact distance they can hear varies depending on factors such as breed, age, and environmental conditions.


How can dogs hear everything?

well if you have a dog, and it barks at the door when no one is their then it hears rather someone walking past your house or maybe a chipmunk. Dogs are intelligent very intelligent but not always they do what you say because they are more distracted on something else then what you are saying cuz they hear something you dont.


Can dogs hear better or smell better?

Dogs have a more developed sense of smell than hearing. They have up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about 6 million in humans. While dogs can hear a wider range of frequencies than humans, their sense of smell is their most powerful sense and is essential to how they experience the world.

Can dogs hear thunder before humans do?

Yes, dogs can hear thunder before humans do because they have more sensitive hearing and can detect sounds at higher frequencies.


Why can animals especially dogs hear sounds humans can't hear?

because of more efficient hearing power than humans and it is because of the frequency.

Audible sounds dogs hear but humans cant?

As a hunter, dogs have evolved to have better hearing than humans. They can even hear voles/lemmings scurrying round under the snow!!


Do dogs get scared when they see something you cannot see?

Since dogs can hear high pitched sounds humans cannot hear, it is more likely a dog becomes frightened or upset from something the dog hears that you cannot hear.

Do humans hear everything animals hear?

No. It is scientifically proved that certain animals hear more than humans. Many animals have a higher range of sounds they can hear but humans cannot. Dogs for example, can hear sounds as high as 60,000 Hz while the human range is within 20,000Hz. Lower base ranges 20 to 80 Hz are felt more than heard in many animals so while they will react, it is more fright and flight than recognition of specific sound.This is why animals can hear things like dog whistles, and we can't hear them, or if you do it is really hard to hear them. In all, animals can hear differently than humans in the way that they can hear more.


How would you compare the sensitivity of your ears to that of the dog in terms of detecting sound?

Dogs have a more sensitive sense of hearing than humans. They can hear frequencies at higher pitches and pick up sounds from farther distances. Dogs also have more specialized ears for amplifying and locating sounds.
