Can humans hear dolphins underwater?
Dolphin’s have much better hearing than humans, 7 times better in fact. They can hear a wider range of frequencies and ultrasounds (high frequency) exceptionally well. A dolphin’s hearing range is from about 20 Hz to 150 kHz. Dolphins also use sound to communicate underwater.

How does the brain of a dolphin work?
The brain receives the sound waves in the form of nerve impulses, which relay the messages of sound and enable the dolphin to interpret the sound’s meaning. By this complex system of echolocation, dolphins and whales can determine size, shape, speed, distance, direction, and even some of the internal structure of objects in the water.

How are bottlenose dolphins able to use sound?
By this complex system of echolocation, dolphins and whales can determine size, shape, speed, distance, direction, and even some of the internal structure of objects in the water. Bottlenose dolphins are able to learn and later recognize the echo signatures returned by preferred prey species.
