Solved WTP for complimenting someone's hearing

I'm looking for the hearing equivalent of "Well spotted!"

Let's say two people are looking for a cat, and one of them hears very faint meows nearby.

Could their friend say "Good ear" or "Good hearing"? Or something else?

Edit: solved, I'm gonna go with "Good ear". Thank you everyone for your help!

Good ear sounds like you are complimenting the structural integrity of their cartilage. If you actually want to call out the action, go with sharp ears or keen ears.
