This paper isn't on how they hear or see but you might get a little insight into his behaviour if you read this:

It's a bit heavy in parts but quite interesting none the less

Reptile hearing

Horsfield wild behavior study

http://www.cebc.cnrs.fr/Fidentite/bo...ublication.htm

Look under 2003 publications

The one underneath it is interesting too,

LAGARDE F., BONNET X., HENEN B., LEGRAND A., CORBIN J., NAGY K., NAULLEAU G. Sex divergence in space utilisation in the steppe tortoise (Testudo horsfieldi). Canadian Journal of Zoology. 2003, 81, (3), 380-387
