Do sharks have ears? - 24hourcampfire

Well.....do they?

Mud sharks do...

No

They have to - how else could they keep their covid masks on?

Flipper could hear the underwater horn from miles away in the ocean.

They have teeth, that's all that matters.

You mean like ear holes?
Or lobes. For dangly things.

I imagine the have some sort of hole like thing maybe inside their mouth or gills.
Sound is not much good for direction under water though.
Maybe just a pressure sensor organ? Doubles as a depth gauge?

Maybe they have sonar sense? Kinda the underwater version of hearing?

I’ve heard that Bass pick up sound waves with lateral lines along their sides Maybe sharks do the same

Forgot about that.

Think you got the horseshoe when everyone else had hand grenades.

Yep, but those are for sensing electrical fields.

They have "ears", or perhaps saying "hearing organs" is a better way to put it.

Quote

In a fascinating 1981 paper, otolaryngyologist Jeffrey Corwin reported that in some sharks one of these otolith-equipped parts of the inner ear - called the macula neglecta (because it had long been ignored by sensory physiologists) - responds particularly strongly to vibrations through the top of the skull. Based on his functional morphology studies of many shark species, he proposed that the macula neglecta may provide actively predatory sharks with an enhanced ability to hear sounds originating from above and in front. If true, this would grant sharks directional hearing, despite the close-set arrangement of their inner ear mechanisms.

And water conduct sound better than air................................................................

so the sharks can hear you fart from a 1/2 mile away next time you go to the beach.

We were quick to answer in the negative.

We had to later admit we had no fugging idea.
