hi there carol how interesting also i find if i have a hat on my echo location
is not half as good so it's not the ears it's through the head somehow. some
years ago guide dogs said they would be looking in to how we do this and as
alison i think it was said we have done it all these years without thinking
about it. but to do it without a cane or dog would be nai imposible for me it
is a real help though in getting around.

Snow is the killer, I think, because you lose kerbs as well as the echo
going!
I was interested one night when, out of the ordinary routine, I had to
go to a friend's house in the middle of the night. This was down a path
which, although quite narrow and it was gravel, the path itself wasn't
particularly (shut in). However, in the middle of the night I was much
more conscious of the density of that path and it was as if it was
really gloomy! (I don't see dark and light so I just make of that what I
do!--an interesting experience!)

interesting topic of discussion, another factor that can affect the
viability of echo location is chabnges in atmospheric pressure as this can
alter the way sound travels to a lesser or greater degree.

never do it without a dog or a cane to me if someone says they can then they
must have some small amount of sight. well or very very good hearing indeed.

to a web site with even more hype and some unlabelled buttons. It
takes a special kind of ineptitude to include unlabelled buttons in an
app aimed squarely at the blind.
