Answer 4

does that help?

Answer 5

not really
why can they hear them and is it normal

Answer 6

Dogs hear at a wider range of frequencies than humans. The low end of the range is similar to humans (humans hear down to about 20 Hertz, or cycles per second, dogs are at about 40 Hz). But at the high end, they are quite different. Humans hear to about 23 KHz or 23,000 Hz (kilohertz = 1000 x Hz) but dogs can hear up to 45 KHz! Although as dogs age they may become deaf and some dogs are born deaf.
When dogs become aware of a sound they've heard their ears will wingspan up and move around. Part of the reason why dogs can hear better than humans is that their ears have more mobility which enable it to maximize its ability to ear. The shape of a dog's ear also helps it hear more proficiently. As we cup our ears, some dogs ears are already in that position. A German Shepherd, for example, has upright curved ears which helps it to maximize sound.
