Whereas we humans already feel quite proud with our hearing range of about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, there are countless animals that surpass us with ease. Their survival instincts, hunting techniques or communication often depend heavily on what they can hear. In this blog, I\u2019ll take you into the fascinating world of animals with super hearing. You\u2019ll find that we humans actually pale in comparison.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-waarom-is-gehoor-zo-belangrijk-bij-dieren\">Why is hearing so important in animals?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For animals, hearing is often literally a matter of life and death. Where we use ears primarily to talk, listen to music or watch traffic, animals use their hearing to: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Locate and capture prey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Predators to dodge in time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate with each other (sometimes across miles)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better assess their habitat, even in the dark<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So it is not surprising that some animal species have developed hearing that goes far beyond our human ability.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-vleermuis-de-koning-van-de-echolocatie\">The bat: the king of echolocation<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we talk about hearing, the bat cannot be left out. Bats use echolocation to find their way in the dark. They emit ultrasonic sounds (sometimes up to 120,000 Hz) and catch the echoes that bounce back from objects around them.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this system, they can:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flying in total darkness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoiding obstacles thinner than a human hair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Picking mosquitoes and other small insects unerringly from the air<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So their hearing range is much larger than that of humans, and mainly focused on those high frequencies.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-olifant-meester-van-de-lage-tonen\">The elephant: master of low notes<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the other end of the spectrum is the elephant. Where bats hear ultrasonically, elephants work with <strong>infrasonic sound<\/strong>: sounds so low that humans cannot detect them (below 20 Hz). <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elephants communicate with low humming tones that can reach for miles. Thanks to their sensitive hearing and the vibrations they sense even through the ground with their paws, herds stay in contact over great distances. To humans, these sounds are often inaudible, but elephants \u201cbabble\u201d at it lustily.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-uil-stille-jager-in-de-nacht\">The owl: silent hunter in the night<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Owls not only have excellent hearing, but also a special trick: their ears do not sit symmetrically on their heads. One ear is slightly higher than the other, allowing them to determine very accurately where a sound is coming from. Even in complete darkness, an owl can hear a mouse rustling under a thick layer of snow and then dive on it.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, their hearing is not necessarily better in frequency range than that of other animals, but rather unique in precision and direction.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-hond-onze-trouwe-vriend-met-superoren\">The dog: our faithful friend with super ears<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No surprise: dogs hear much better than humans. Whereas we can hear up to about 20,000 Hz, dogs easily reach 45,000 Hz. That immediately explains why dog whistles seem quiet to us, but dogs respond to them instantly.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They use their good hearing not only to warn us or help in hunting, but also in their communication with other dogs. And, of course, for unerringly recognizing the sound of an opening refrigerator or a rattling kibble bag. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-kat-een-sluipmoordenaar-met-topgehoor\">The cat: an assassin with top hearing<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cats are certainly not inferior to dogs. In fact, they sometimes hear just a little better in the higher frequencies, up to around 64,000 Hz. This makes them perfect hunters, as mice and small rodents often communicate with ultra-high-pitched beeps that are inaudible to humans. For cats, it\u2019s like being able to overhear a secret language.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-dolfijn-communiceren-in-hoge-tonen\">The dolphin: communicating in high tones<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dolphins are known for their intelligence, but their hearing is also impressive. They hear up to 150,000 Hz, and use this not only to understand each other but also for echolocation underwater. Like bats, they \u201csee\u201d with their ears.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their high frequencies are also useful for group communication: dolphins have unique whistles with which they call each other by name.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-konijnen-en-knaagdieren-altijd-alert\">Rabbits and rodents: always alert<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Animals that often act as prey, such as rabbits and hamsters, also have keen hearing. Their ears are always upright and can rotate independently to pick up sounds from all directions. This allows them to know exactly if danger is nearby and where it is coming from.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-samenvattend-wie-wint-er\">In summary, who wins?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we make a sort of ranking, we see that different animals excel in different areas:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Best in high notes:<\/strong> dolphins and bats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best in bass:<\/strong> elephants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best in directionality:<\/strong> owls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best household superiors:<\/strong> dogs and cats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So there is no one \u201cbest\u201d hearing; it depends entirely on the purpose for which hearing was developed. Whereas we humans often need hearing protection to prevent damage, animals, on the contrary, have hearing that is tuned to perfection for their environment. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusie\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Animals\u2019 hearing is incredibly diverse and often much better developed than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/hearing\/how-does-hearing-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ours<\/a>. Whether it is bats hunting in the dark, elephants communicating over miles of distance or cats hearing ultrasonic mouse squeaks, it is a reminder that ears are perhaps one of the most underrated senses. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the next time you see your dog react to a sound you don\u2019t hear, or see a cat staring at a mouse even before you see it yourself: realize that animal ears are true wonders of nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Animals&#8217; hearing is incredibly diverse and often much better developed than ours.
