Module 10 Discussion Board: Hearing in the Environment

This week, through your assigned textbook and videos linked in this week’s announcement, you were introduced to the complex sounds that our auditory system process. Please consider what you learned this week, as you answer the questions below. Remember, you have to answer each question and respond to at least two other posts.
Human echolocation is the ability of humans to detect objects in their environment by sensing echoes from those objects, by actively creating sounds such as tapping their canes (Links to an external site.), lightly stomping their foot, snapping their fingers, or making clicking noises with their mouths. People trained to orient by echolocation can interpret the sound (Links to an external site.) waves reflected by nearby objects, accurately identifying their location and size.
(1) How does the brain of the blind respond to echoes? Explain your answer.
(2) What are some advantages for echolocation for blind people?
(3) How does new echolocation technology empower blind people?
With enough training, most humans can learn how to echolocate using their tongue to make clicking sounds and interpreting the echoes that come back, reflected from the surrounding environment. There were studies conducted where people who have sight were taught echolocation. With that being said:
Would you be willing to learn this technique? Why or Why not?
