Hi,
I am told I use it by my Guide Dog instructor but I am not concious of it
myself. However, more conciously I am aware of walls and passing by doorways
etc. When I asked my instructor, it is something to do with the sound and
there may be other things involved too.
I wouldn't say I'm skeptical, there is a guy in the US called Dan Kisch, he
is one of the world's experts in echo location, which is what you are
describing.

Hi,
what do you think of using tongue clicking as a way to get information
about
the environment? apparently totally blind people can tell where there's
windows on a building or pillars in front of them from several feet away
using tongue clicks. i'm skeptical myself, does any one use it and what
results have you achieved?
