| Enhanced hearing | |
|---|---|
 Dale listens to rap music to drown out other noises. | |
| Originally held by: | Dale Smither |
| Absorbed by: | Sylar |
| Ability to: | Hear any sound at any volume |
Enhanced hearing is the ability to hear any sound at any volume, even over vast distances.
Characters
- Dale Smither was the first character to display this ability.
- Sylar has stolen this ability.
Limits
Enhanced hearing appears to be a passive ability which is always active, yet controllable. With some concentration, the user can isolate particular sounds.
Dale had at least enough sensitivity to hear a human heartbeat from a few feet away. She had enough practice to detect changes in a person's mood by changes in their heart rate. She claimed to be able to hear every individual footfall of a cockroach.
Examples
- Dale is able to hear Sylar's heartbeat change pace, as if he were nervous about something. (Unexpected)
- Later on, Dale hears Sylar's heartbeat again, and is surprised she couldn't hear his footsteps. (Unexpected)
- When going to meet Dale again at her shop, Sylar experiences headaches, similar to those Dale explained; Mohinder triggers many sounds which are amplified in Sylar's hearing. (Unexpected)
- While interrogating Sylar, Mohinder taps a tuning fork and places it to Sylar's ears, causing him tremendous pain.(Parasite)
- On the phone, Sylar hears Mohinder dial 911. (The Hard Part)
- Sylar hears Ando gulp behind a painting, then hears Hiro and Ando's heartbeats as they follow him around. (The Hard Part)
- After hearing Hiro's heartbeat, Sylar tells him that he recognized it from Isaac's loft. (The Hard Part)
- Sylar uses his enhanced hearing to eavesdrop on Mr. Bennet, Peter, Claire, Matt, and Ted. (Landslide)
