A good example is that blind people, have been found to have adapted actual better and more sensitive hearing than normal people. This is because the brain litteraly rewired itself to upgrade the hearing part because the part where the old sight was being processed is now sort of useless, but made use of it.

    People underestimate the power of sound and hearing. I felt this as a kid, when I was behind a theater with a blindfold on. I was behind this veil, and every time I talked I hear a sound, a resonating one, I could picture exactly where it was coming from and what was happening based just on the acoustics. Whether it was people talking in the lobby, music playing on stage, or other noises backstage, I had a whole scene painted in my mind from audio alone. It was amazing how much information you can perceive just through listening. Ever since then, I've been fascinated by how we interpret the world through our sense of sound. There's so much packed into what reaches our ears. I think if more people paid attention to listening actively, they'd be surprised what they can discover about their surroundings and even other people just through picking up on the auditory details around them. This man, is telling the truth. You can train yourself to adjust to a certain degree of technique without feeling the need to just sit there and let yourself die out of boredom. I'm not blind, but everytime I walk, I close my eyes and everytime, i could picture what is beneath me, what type of vehicle is moving on the on other side of my ear, it is phenomenal. And if you think I walk at a few hundred meters, you'd be wrong. I know exactly what the layout of my hometown is therefore it makes it so much easier for me to simply walk all the way home without opening a single eye. The sound of my footsteps never stop echoing bottom to top, that I genuinely know what shape the ground is, a rocky upward slope, a straight but bumpy road, it made me realize that I have also honed a the technique this man uses.

Daniel Kish said Ben had the strongest echolocation skill of anyone he ever met including himself. Ben could even sense chain link fences. A lot people around the neighborhood refused to believe he was blind. The neighbors would say _"I don't see him with a cane and instead I see that kid riding a bike avoiding obstacles, weaving around cars how can he be blind? don't screw with me."_ He was taken away because of retinoblastoma; only then after seeing the videos on RUclips people learn to accept that Ben was blind. I bet he could ride an electric motorized scooter if he was alive, that kid was very special and I doubt we ever going to see/hear another person as equal as him.

    I have a theory on why clicking sound works for him. In engineering, in signals and systems topic to be more specific, there is a concept called "impulse response". Basically what you do is that you apply an impulse (an infinitely short pulse) to the system and see how the system responds to it. This way you can mathematically model the system. This person very cleverly figured that out with a clicking sound. He applies a short sound pulse and identifies the system around him. I think it helps that the hearing part of our brain can do a frequency analysis. This video brought me back to my signals and systems course days :)

      They actually did a brain scan on this guy and some other echolocating blind folks and found that most of the parts of their brains that normally generate images from one’s eyes were active upon hearing recordings of their own clicking. So his brain presumably still generates images of the world around him just without light and color.

      Albert Guilmont I am blind myself. Firstly, it's called a cane, not a stick, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Second, it is always important to use a cane even though you may have other techniques up your sleeve. Using a cane is the first and most fundamental aspect of being able to navigate the world as a blind person. It can tell you information that echo-locating can't always tell you.
