Well insects, ants included don't have "ears" some of the cicadas and grasshoppers do have a tympanic membrane but that is because they use vocalizations for communication. Ants however do not have any types of ears, but they can hear......Their bodies are covered with tiny bristle-like hairs called setae. These tiny hairs allow them to pick up on vibrations...and our voice is essentially just a particular pattern of vibrations anyways. So to answer your question, YES they can hear us, they most probably don't understand, but they can hear the noise produced when we speak.
Hope this helps!

On their heads ants have long waving antennae. These antennae are good at smelling, tasting and hearing.

Can't hear due to high volume, that's a first! He he. You mean frequency, I think.

They cannot "hear" us, or anything else for that matter, but they can "feel" sound waves.
