It has been documented in several parts of Bolivia, including Oropeza Province, Chiquitos Province, and Florida Province.These three localities range from 220–1,800 m (720–5,910 ft) above sea level.This species also possibly occurs in Brazil, based on a Micronycteris specimen identified as Sanborn's big-eared bat that could actually have been Yates's big-eared bat.
As of 2017, it is listed as a data deficient species by the IUCN.It meets the criteria for this classification because there is little information regarding its population status or the extent of its geographic range.
