Most snakes lack external ears and have limited or no hearing capabilities. Some can sense vibrations through their jawbones, but they don't hear in the same way humans or other animals with ears do.

Snakes

Many species of fish have no external ears and limited hearing. They primarily rely on their lateral line system, which detects water movement and pressure changes.

Fish

Insects, such as ants and beetles, do not have ears or the ability to hear sounds in the way mammals or birds do. They communicate through vibrations and chemical signals.

Spiders are generally deaf and lack auditory organs. They primarily use vibrations and touch to sense their environment.

Octopuses have limited hearing abilities and lack external ears. They primarily rely on their well-developed sense of touch and vision to interact with their surroundings.
