I wonder if you could hear bats directly by having a headset / amplifier that contacts your skull rather than putting a speaker over your ear. It’s been reported that humans can hear ultrasonic frequencies via bone contact. (I’d speculate identifying the source direction doesn’t work though.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_hearing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_hearing
- Enginerrrd 5y agoI can hear bats normally. I have a freakishly large hearing range.
- MauranKilom 5y agoThere are definitely bats that produce chirps (partially) in the human-audible range. You don't need above-average hearing to notice 15 kHz sounds, which appears to be the lower end listed in some source. Most echolocation happens way beyond human hearing range though.
- dahart 5y agoThat's cool! How high can you hear? I can't hear up to 20k anymore. Can you tell where high pitched sounds are coming from?
