They have no outer ears, but have all the internal bones and channels of most other animals.
As for hearing, they pick up vibrations in the water better than they can "hear" airborne sounds.
Sorry for being so sensible in a P&S question.

They have large ears that are invisible and can hear you when you say they walk too slow

No, and yes.
They actually have decently formed ears, covered in membranes.
However, they only respond to certain sounds at certain times- mostly low-frequency vibrations, certain chirps, etc.

Yes,and they are extremely attentive since they are very vulnerable to predators,shell or no shell.

Yes, they can. Their eyesight is not really good, but they can hear you coming.

they do not hear, but they do interpret vibrations which gives us a false sense they can hear.
