Human's ears can detect sounds of a range of dB. If i not mistaken, the minimum is 20dB.Dog's somewhat more sensitive, minimum is 15dB.
While it's not possible for human's ear to detect 0dB sounds, I think it can be amplified to make it audible.
After all, 0dB is sound equivalent to 1W.
P(dB) = 10 log P(Watt)

I think TS meant the Sound Pressure. See here ->Examples of Sound Pressure Levels
dB always has a reference value, just often this reference level is implied and thus not stated.
In this case 0dB is the human auditory threshold in air.
