| Enhanced hearing | |
|---|---|
 Dale hears Sylar's heartbeat quicken. | |
| Held by: | Dale Smither |
| Ability to: | Hear any sound at any volume or pitch |
Enhanced hearing is the ability to hear any sound at any volume or pitch, 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 was able to hear Sylar's heartbeat change pace, as if he were nervous about something. (Unexpected)
- Later on, Dale heard Sylar's heartbeat again, and was surprised she couldn't hear his footsteps. (Unexpected)
- When going to meet Dale again, Sylar experiences headaches, similar to those Dale explained, and Mohinder triggered many sounds which were amplified in Sylar's hearing. (Unexpected)
