Seeing with sound

A Onedayintheearly1970s,agroupofchildrenwatched eight-year-old Daniel Kish hurtle down the hillonhisbicycle.Theystaredinhorrorashecollidedwithsomemetaldustbinsandastreetlight.However,althoughhisfacewasbleedingbadly,Danielsimplystood up and walked home. Pain was something that Danielwasusedto.Hehadbeenblindsincehewasababyandwaslearningtogetaroundbyusinghisearstoguidehim.Inevitably,thismeanthavingafewaccidents along the way.

B DanielwasborninCaliforniain1966.Helosthissightbecauseofcancerwhenhewasthirteenmonthsold.Accordingtohim,hethenenteredaworldwhereblindchildren were constantly told what they could not do and advised to do only the simplest tasks. However, Danielrefusedtobetreateddifferentlyfromotherchildren.Overtheyears,hegotbetteratavoidingaccidentsbecausehemanagedtoworkoutwhereobjectswerebyclickinghistongue.Bylisteningtothewaythesoundwavesproducedbythisactionbouncedoffdifferentsurfaces,hebecameabletolocatethingssuchasbuildings,treesandpeople.Althoughhewasinitially unaware of it, Daniel was using a system called echolocation,whichismorecommonlyusedbyanimalssuchasbats,whalesanddolphins.

C If the idea of echolocation sounds strange, imagine this:youthrowatennisballatahardsurface,likeawall, and listen to the sound it makes. You then throw theballatsomethingsofter,likeabush.Obviously,you will hear a very different sound. That is how echolocation works, except that, instead of hurling physicalobjectsatthings,youmakeanoisetoprojectsound waves on to them. It is a system that has helped Daniel to go camping on his own, swim, cook and dance.Danielhasbeenpassingonthissystemtootherblindpeoplesince2000throughtheorganization,WorldAccessfortheBlind.

D Despite the freedom that echolocation has given Daniel,somepeopledisapproveofhistechnique.Theyarguethatecholocationrequiresahugeamountofeffortandthereforebenefitsonlyaverysmallproportionoftheblindcommunity.Otherpeopleview the tongue-clicking used in echolocation as a formofantisocialbehaviour.Nevertheless,theresultsspeak for themselves. Daniel and other advocates of echolocation can navigate the most complex of environments,frombustlingrestaurantstocrowdedstreets, without having to rely on their sense of touch to work out where things are. In order to gain this level of freedom and independence, Daniel has had to bepersistent,butnobodycantellhimwhathecanorcannot do.
