Welcome to We’re All Ears — A New Way to Listen to Your Pets

Episode Summary:
In this premiere episode of We’re All Ears, host Janet Marlow — internationally recognized sound behaviorist, founder of Pet Acoustics, and creator of the Pet Acoustics+ App — takes listeners inside the often-overlooked world of pet hearing health.
Janet explains how dogs (and cats) hear differently from humans, why hearing loss in dogs is far more common than most pet parents realize, and how early detection can dramatically improve a pet’s quality of life.

She shares expert advice on the signs of canine hearing loss — from subtle behavioral changes to more noticeable signs of disorientation — and explains how sound therapy and auditory enrichment can help dogs adapt and thrive.
 Janet also introduces the Pet Acoustics+ App’s free hearing test for dogs and cats, giving every pet parent an accessible tool to monitor their pet’s hearing health right from their phone.


In Pet Acoustics: We're All Ears!, host Janet Marlow explores the intricate relationship between animals and the soundscapes they inhabit. As a Sound Behaviorist and founder of Pet Acoustics, Janet guides listeners through a nuanced auditory journey, revealing how creatures great and small perceive frequencies and noises invisible to human ears. This podcast isn't just about cute pets; it's a deep dive into the science of hearing, behavior, and emotional well-being. You'll discover how everyday sounds-from household appliances to city traffic-can trigger profound reactions in animals, influencing their stress levels, moods, and even their health. Each episode is built on the premise that by understanding the acoustic world from an animal's perspective, we can forge deeper, more harmonious bonds with our companions. Whether you're a pet owner, an animal lover, or simply curious about the hidden sensory experiences of other species, this series offers a unique blend of research, practical advice, and captivating stories. Tune in to hear conversations that will change how you listen to the world alongside your furry, feathered, or scaled friends.
