I don't think there are (m)any published game mechanics that apply to
these powers. You could give him maybe -1 to aural Perception tests, to
account for the wider range of sounds he can hear, and at any rate he
should be able to hear things like dog whistles and other high-frequency
sounds, as well as the noises elephants make (too low-frequency for humans
to hear, but they carry several kilometers).

Not that I believe he'll run into many elephants, but there must be other
uses... I just can't think of any right now :/
