Your dog’s hearing is far more sensitive and acute than yours. A human’s hearing spans between 64 hertz (Hz) and 23,000Hz, while a dog’s hearing reaches between 63Hz and 60,000Hz. Dogs are also able to hear noises that are up to four times farther away than we can. Dogs with upright ears have better hearing than dogs with dropped, or hanging, ears. Another contributing factor is movement: the human year is controlled by six muscles while a dog’s ear is controlled by eighteen. Your dog's ability to lift and rotate their ears independently of each other gives them an even greater auditory edge.
