High pitch cuts through everything else. My dog can hear my whispered voice for a mad distance even with other sounds around....

If only he had the Byakugan

Pete The Fat Dog Indeed. I think u are a smart thinker.

It's not that our brain works differently, I think anyone could memorize something if they really wanted to. It's all about looking at it from a different perspective. I have been blind my whole life. I've never been able to see anyone, and yet I know what the people in my life look like, even if I can't see them.

@@johndowlingjr. how are you able to type

I hope you succeeded

I'm sure that you already researched about it, but just to be sure, you know some retina detachment can be fixed with surgery, my dad had it and got it fixed, I just wanted to let you know, good luck

i know you'll probably not see this, but are you able to echolocate now?

@@isaquedopao6667 You really said "you'll probably not *see* this", didn't you?

Rhyle there is some interesting stuff being developed aside from the obvious recreating of the eye there are a couple cool tools on the market already for example a device that picks up the color of something you are looking at and then creating a sound specific to that color value do enable colorblind people. What i think will be interesting is what happens when we are able to give blind people visual sight and how that then functions when they have mastered sonar and how these 2 different ways of seeing the world interact.

Undead Bizkit As a person with sight, you can learn sonar and do what you just suggested - right now.

Okay

The fact that you have less working ears than normal people yet exceed their ability to hear is really interesting!

Me, but my other ear still works. Those electric sounds are the worst tbh.

Doesn't everyone hear fluorescent lights though?

Very good.

But can actually see tge mapping the sound makes

@@johnrambo4603 No not at all. Not like him. Im sighted and havent had practice. There is also a blind spot when you get really close to a wall- the echo arrives at about the same time as the sound of the click does from your throat, so it sort of just sounds the same. I actually did some research into bats echolocating, and found that bats ears disconnect when they send out a chirp and reconnect a microsecond later. If my ears could do that it would be wayyy easier. That way im only hearing the echo itself, and not my own clicking. It also turns out that high pitched sounds allow you to hear more detail, so i tried sending out a whistle, but I couldnt get anything. Could be lack of practice.

@@johnrambo4603 a sighted person will generally need to close their eyes and allow time for their ears to attune to their own clicking it's slow but can be done

Yes. The only thing is, that these people are sharing their own subjective experiences. And, those aren't always reliably true for everyone else. An, "objective," education cannot be learned from absorbing subjective accounts. You will only ever learn what's been proven true to that one particular person. TED talks are great, but they are NO substitution for a basic, scientifically-based education. And, just being able to distinguish between the two is fundamentally critical. (Or critically fundamental lol either way.😂👍)

@@twstf8905 Yet that to is but only one from out of an unlimited number of perspectives.

Yes.

Or if you are blind like me and Daniel we listen to TED.

It can all be skipped. Blindfolded children quickly learn to see with their third eye. And it's in COLOR. So not about echolocation. The blind and the old can also learn. It's a matter of what we allow ourselves to achieve, the mind is the limitation. Just look up the videos of blindfolded children and adults. Able to see. Not tricked.

The problem is that a visual system is very sensitive to changes and inactivity. I seem to recall a cruel 'experiment' on a kitten(s?) that was kept in the dark and even after the blindfold was lifted after some time, never learned to see. David Eagleman (who has a great TED talk himself) has a theory that we dream to keep our visual system going or it will be quite quickly taken over by the other brain systems.

@@katarinajanoskova I work with someone who's daughter is practically blind in one eye, took 5 years or so for anyone to notice, she has to wear an eye patch regularly in (the hope) order to correct the issue. I hear what you're saying tho. Valid point. What're your thoughts on requiring all children learning 1st Aid in order to finish primary school? Also, lifesaving to finish high-school (or middle school, I don't know where you grew up / live). Again, you make a valid point. Respect.

I would say that it depends on the distance and place of the play area. If it's a medium/small enclosed area, it would be harder for you (because he needs his own sound to "bounce" back to him to locate).

FTWofc Sight is definitely the last sense I would want to lose as well.

FTWofc I think not hearing would be much more separating than being blind. I can't imagine not being able to listen to music, videos, people, or even the instruments I love playing.

Stephan Ainley True, but it is much easier to retain your independence having your vision over having your sight. I guess it depends on what you value most.

Not being able to taste the food I eat would be the my worst nightmare.

There's always hope.

@@lyingonthemoon792 are we gonna ignore eco lactation?

@@vrabiealexandru2755 def going to r/boneappletea

I like that idea! An adjustable sound generator. It might drive people around insane as the sounds aren't always needed tho 😜

That is a great Idea and it will develop to unimaginable depths once our ignorant scientists and medical researchers all come together and 100% support this and actually care. But more importantly, unfortunately as well, there has to be a huge profit ability for big medical companies and science to come together to develop something that can be put in their ears and will actually drastically distinguish different sounds, give feedback on how far they are, which direction, frequency, and help the blind develop a much clearer image of everything around them. But I don't see the profit margin for a business oriented society. Just not enough blind people able to pay for the research that takes 100's of millions in addition to developing the product so its affordable WITHOUT the state to pay for it all and the state does not care to have another expense of a very small minority. Prob the smallest one in relation to ethnic problems. So no money = no progress sadly and the bling will be left limited to a FUZZY image at best and with a long stick they can somewhat live a decent life. But they could drive cars, fly planes etc...just the necessary tools are needed. Too expensive and city wide sound reflectors would be needed as well so they would know where the stop signs are and exactly when it is about to turn red, speed limit, actual lane space, their speed, cars in front and behind that is almost solved) line deviation warning and automatic speed control lets a car stop and go again on its own based on the cars ahead of them and will shake the wheel if your car even leans on the line of the other lane next to you and will alarm if you come close to a car next to you. But all of that, in addition to their earpiece technology, can be made to make the blind live a pretty normal life like everyone else. Just the profit is not there and the cost is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too high and has no return. Cruel business oriented society but its the truth...great idea though.

it is still not practical for it will just annoy other people. Our brain is already equipped to use Sonar for navigation, we just take it for granted due to the fact that we use our eyes more. the best thing to do is to invent an amplifier for the ears to hear clearly.

This won't work as good as using the mouth. The problem here is that you have to hear the sound when it is created. As early as possible. And i think that if you use your mouth to do it you even know that the sound WILL come before it actually does and you have much more feedback from all over your head. @F. Exprt You are delusional. Go take your conspirancy theorys somewhere else. ITs true that huge profit helps to establish proper science funding but even with out it they can get funding. This trhing we are talking about is not as easy as you think. The brain already does a GREAT job. The only next step would be to outsource that brainpower into a device and then send the correct visual information to the brain. Good luck in doing that. I think shinjiprofiles comment has the best short term solution. Better hearing will improve it.

Why not teach kids independent mobility techniques so they're not beholden to technology or other people to live their lives?

Money for such research and the products needed are millions at least and blind people just cant afford to even start a research yet alone do It for a long time and develop a product of sorts.

@@FExprt Even more so when you consider how unlikely it is for bling people to buy it because probably it will be very expensive at the start and if they search information about it they will find out they can do it themselves, even if not so perfectly, with no monetary cost.

Really? I want to know more about it
