Only a few insects are known to have the ability to hear of which cicadas are included. However, from Brittanica:
Cicadas are noted for the intensity of sound produced by some species and for the elaborate development of the ears, which are located on the first segment of the abdomen.

This is a classic repost.
Guess it makes sense that insects that use sounds to attract mates also have ears.
