I don't use tongue clicking, but sometimes if there's a bus going past and I'm near an open space or doorway or something like that, I'll tap my cane much louder than normal to hear where I am. I can hear the difference between solid walls and fences/gateways etc without having to do any clicking/clapping etc. Interesting to hear about other techniques though.

Finger flicking/clicking also produces the same result, and you can clap or shout too.-- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---- Original Message ---- From: "Husna Begum" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 7:11 PM Subject: [access-uk] echolocationHi, 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?
