Can monkeys hear better than us?

Yes. Monkeys, in general, can hear better than humans in several ways. Their hearing range is typically broader with better sensitivity, especially at higher frequencies. Compared to humans, monkeys often possess enhanced auditory acuity, enabling them to detect faint sounds more efficiently. Moreover, their specialized ears provide better sound localization abilities by accurately pinpointing the origin of sounds in their environment. The combination of increased frequency range, higher sensitivity, and improved sound localization contributes to their superior hearing compared to humans.
