What are jobs that require exceptional hearing?

Question

After taking one of the annual hearing tests for work, the person giving the test said, "Wow, you have great hearing. You should consider going to work for the CIA." Well, I'm not interested in that but it got me thinking what else could I do with the ears I have. The hearing test person was serious about his suggestion about the CIA.

Answer 1

Bomb technician.

Answer 2

911 dispatcher

air traffic controller

Answer 3

Unless he was being purely sagacious about applying for the CIA ("hearing EVERYTHING") I can suggest you research jobs in the Scientific field.

Many scientific positions require an acute audible sensory perception to detect minute audible variance for sound-resistant technology.
