    I wish there was a site that simulates what a dog hears.

    A while back a friend mentioned some website that had a simulation of what a cat sees or hears (don't recall, as I don't own a cat). I really wonder what it would be like to hear like a dog does.

    I imagine it would be pretty amazing. I mean, how does a dog hear a corn flake hitting the kitchen floor from two rooms away and knows it is something to snatch up, but can be in the next room and hear a coffee bean hit the floor and immediately know there is no reason to get up?

    lol poor baddog losing his hearing and looking for a way to help it without admitting it

    jk

    still a pretty dumb thing to wonder, they just have more sensitive hearing, how do you know if your fart is a dry one and you can just sit there or if its a wet one and you just shit yourself? same deal

      For a long time it was said that dogs see in black and white. I think that has been debunked a few years ago.

      I remember seeing a simulation of how dogs see and hear on the discovery or national geographic channel some years ago, it was pretty cool.

          One of my dogs is deaf and can't hear shit.
          The other dog hears this:

          "Blah blah blah... blah blah, bleh... blah blah, *COOKIE!*..... blah blah, bleckity bleh, *TRUCK!*... bleh blab blab yak yak.... blah *WALK!*..... blah blah blah *DINNER!*.... " and that's about it.

            Maybe that is what they were talking about.

              Not quite black and white. More like yellows and blues. Doesn't mean that their sight is worse than ours, though - its evolved to suit their needs better.

              Its just theory though - the dogs themselves aren't talking.

                hhahaha that's EXACTLY what my dog hears.. Often what I'll do is speak normally as if I'm having a conversation with someone but I'll look at him and I'll just throw those random words into there and watch him cock his head and perk up his ears.

                      well, for colour, it's because of the way the eye is made up. All to do with rods and cones, with the cones responsible for seeing colour the geeks can say that a dog has much much reduced colour vision (practically greys) because they have very very few cones relative to rods. May have this the wrong way round and it's rods that see colour, but you get the idea.

                          It just amazes me how the smallest thing that hits the floor, he knows it and comes running. And that is hearing it over the tv, music, talking and whatever else is going on.

                              Maybe my guys just aren't smart about that, but they will try to eat ANYTHING that falls on the floor. Anything, even things that are non edible. I've become a master at swiping things the second they drop. When I assemble anything with nuts and bolts I am a surgeon.

                                Yeah, I dunno about what sound level a dog's ears can hear to, but their ears can hear a much wider frequency than ours for sure. So maybe there are certain pitches involved that he responds to.

                                Here is a very interesting read:
                                http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/%7Ecfc/Simons1999.pdf

                                Selective blindness - the same I suppose can be attributed to selective deafness. I know when our kids are rambling about nothing at all to my wife saying "maman, blah blah blah blah" she is 100% deaf to them as really what they are saying is absolutely not important at all. However, I have not acquired this deafness at all and it's excruciatingly painful to listen to them being ignored! Now, the little one can fall off the slide in the garden onto grass, which to me makes no noise at all, and the missus can be inside at the other end of the house, and it *will* be "heard". It really did happen once, and it amazed me - she said she "knew something was wrong".
