They can hear for sure, or at least the one I have can. Kobae is six and lives out at an adventure lodge with me most of the year. Every morning he leaves his pen and heads down the trail for his walk. Some mornings he doesn't see food I've left for him as he can hardly wait to go hiking. I'll say "Hey, hey." He'll stop, then look over towards me. He may or may not come get food, but he hears.

Not that a sulcata hearing will ever do you any good. It's not like they do what you tell them or go where you want them to go.
