do larger ears hear better then smaller ones?

with the outside being larger verses being smaller in order hearing better.

I'm not sure about ears, but the bigger the nose the bigger the hose! LOL

Larger ears collect more sound wave energy - thus hearing is improved.

Why do you think a dogs ears perk up when they are listening.

Plus, didn't you read Dr. Suess, Horton Hears a Who.

Absolutely. Think about it in terms of animals that you know with large ears: snow foxes, desert mice, even bats have larger ears.. not to hear but to capture sound waves. This does greatly amplify the sound for those who can hear it.

Yes larger ears do hear better than smaller ones
