Unfortunately, to date there are no studies that give scientific insights on this phenomenon. However, some animal specialists have suggested that dogs tilt their heads to leave one of their ears more exposed and be able to hear us better.

The same applies to unknown or distant sounds, it is about opening space to as much air as possible to increase a little their hearing and their concentration, being able to determine, for example, the origin of sound. Dogs are extremely curious and will want to know any kind of alteration in their environment, they will try to find the source of what catches their attention and will go to explore it.

One of the most innovative positions suggests that this has nothing to do with hearing, but with sight. What it shows is that dogs have a hard time seeing the faces of their partners because of the place where their snout is located. If we put our fist closed on our nose and look up, we can understand a little how is the limited vision that has a dog.

A health problem.

    Shakes her head too much, tilts her from side to side, does not leave her still for a long time and looks visibly irritated.
    You have redness or irritation in the pink and bare part of the inner ear.
    Has bleeding, excess fluid.
    Accumulation of hair or wax.
    Obvious pain in the area, pain, peeling, changes in behavior.
    Inattention of calls (can mean loss of hearing ability).

Ear-related diseases also affect the balance of the dog, so he can start walking in circles and be disoriented.
