Daniel Kish lost his vision as an infant but now navigates the world using echolocation, emitting clicks with his mouth to create a mental map of his environment. Kish teaches this skill to blind students, with research showing that echolocation is learnable.

Echolocation can help sharpen your listening skills and perception of the world, even for sighted individuals. Kish advises patience and practice to master this unique and fascinating ability.
