The Skill of Sound Shadowing
Author: Zackery Hurtz
Losing your sight isn’t something one has happen willingly but it’s how you handle the loss that’ll determine the rest of your life. You’ll need to start training your other senses and learn how to rely on them to give you an accurate view of your environment. The most useful sense for long range data gathering is hearing and I’ll explain some ways to put it to good use. With consistent practice and hard work you too can learn how to use sound to navigate.
If you stand still in one spot for more than thirty seconds and just listen you’ll start to instinctively feel how big a room is or if someone is standing next to you. This is a great skill to develop and by constant use you’ll be able to surprise sighted people with “blind ninja skills” but just between you and I it’s called sound shadowing. Bats and other species use echo location to navigate around at night and to hunt food. We use it to find trees, sign posts, streetlights, bus shelters, moving vehicles and whatever else might be trying to stop us from moving forward.
The best way to show you what sound shadowing is would be for you to grab a piece of paper and hold it up either on your left or right side. You’ll be able to hear that the paper is blocking sounds from reaching your ear at full volume and you’ll even notice a drop in the flow of air moving across your skin. this always reminds me of the scene in Star Wars where Luke is training with his lightsaber and the remote sphere is floating around him firing electric shots at him. His goal is to use the force to feel and deflect the incoming shots with his eyes closed using his lightsaber. If Luke wasn’t able to use the force to feel when and where the shots were coming he could certainly use sound shadows to help him out.
So now with your paper in hand move it directly out in front of your nose and see if you can hear the sound shadow and determine how far away it is from your face. I know that you’re holding the paper so you’ll know how far away it is but you need to train your brain to judge distance through the method of sound. Move the paper around your head and stop at random points to build your brains ability to locate and deconstruct the shadow of sound so you can use it to navigate around obstacles. Controlling the movement of the paper gives you an idea of how far away it is so when you’re out and about you’ll have a known factor to compare distance and size of objects too.
Physical objects will have a sound shadow but we may not always hear them, for example my college likes to use wet floor signs which only come up to my knee. These have a sound shadow but often I’m too tall to notice it, if I were crawling on the floor I’d hear the shadow no problem. After tripping over the sign I’m usually crawling on the floor and then I can hear the shadow without a doubt. This is why having a cane is helpful, when using a white cane with sound shadowing you can use the sharp tap, tap of the tip to have a source of sound for echo location. If you’re using your cane with the two touch method you’ll have a sound going out to the right and out to the left with every other step giving you a real time stream of sound data to use for navigational travel. I also use dog clickers, harmonicas and whistling to know how far away that fifteen story building is or if there’s a set of stairs coming up so I don’t go down unexpectedly. Gravity isn’t kind to us when we trip or don’t know about the sudden lack of pavement beneath our feet.
Using different objects to make sound can provide differing amounts of information for our brains to build an auditorial map for us to navigate by. The higher notes of a harmonica can help me find objects at extreme distances of two hundred feet while the lower notes give me a better scan of objects closer at hand. Higher notes or frequencies travel longer and can bounce back without loss of sound which means better accuracy.
Another trick I use to use is putting metal tacks in my shoes, with every footstep the metal striking the floor or concrete served as a source of sound to help locate nearby obstacles. I stopped using this method though after scratching up a wooden floor but I discovered that tying bells onto my shoes served just as well. I found this method while hiking in Yellow Stone with the family on one of our many road trips. Wearing bells while hiking is a common practice to help let bears know that you’re in the area and are approaching them. I think this is an easy way for them to find a quick snack but rangers with the Forest Service claim that it’s to give the bears time to scamper off deeper into the woods. I guess this gives a whole new meaning to the “dinner bell.”
If you’d like to train your sound shadowing skill ask a friend to hold a sheet of paper up and have them move it around your head at different distances and heights so you can find the paper. Once you can find the paper consistently have your friend be the object and try to locate them using the sound shadow from their body. Start out by having them just walk around you in a circle and stopping at different points. Once you can find them consistently do the same thing but with different distances involved. After that have them go into a small sized room and then you’ll enter and try to use sound to find their position.
I’ve used sound shadowing for 25 years and I’m still finding different ways to use it in real life situations, in my opinion it’s more useful than algebra! I can walk through the woods without bumping into trees or walk alongside a building and know the second the wall turns into a corner. Auditorial navigation has saved my life many times while moving around large cities and if you can train yourself to use sound shadows you’ll have an easier time interacting with the world. I do want to caution you though just like vision it does have its blind spots and can be tricked so please be careful and keep that in mind while out traveling.

    [u] Can I find my love online? The sleeping Fox catches no chickens. You can’t fish a fish out of a pond easily. All these Proverbs we know since childhood. Have you ever seriously thought about the application of folk wisdom to life? It always seemed to me that these sayings and jokes are invented by grandmothers in the villages for fun, but this was exactly until I realized how vital they are. [/u]

    First there were exams at school, dance class, after entering the Institute, accordingly, diploma, work… And all you had to exercise patience, diligence, spend a lot of time and effort. But I could not imagine that relationships with men also need to be approached, as they say, seriously. It would seem that so many friends, a big company, and cafes/clubs/restaurants are not the worst place to meet. But I had no luck. The a cheapskate, then ham, then a liar and so on. There were, of course, and decent fans, but still one does not cling.

    [b]I had just found a job. [/b] I took my job search seriously — I got up every day in the morning and during the day, with a break for lunch, I worked at the computer, called, sent resumes, arranged interviews. In short, my job was to find a job. When I thought about relationships, I realized-why am I sure that Prince charming will fall from the sky right on my head? What makes me think that without any effort I will have what I want — even if it is intangible? Of course, I perform, so to speak, a minimum — I bring myself in order in the morning, try to dress stylishly, watch my hair and nails. But this is clearly not enough. Having decided on my desires (and I wanted something more serious and conscious than just running to the movies and walking in the parks), I set to “work”.

    [b]To start “accidentally” told everyone I know that I’m finding — they planted a few candidates.[/b] Then we with friends have become regularly walk in club. But! For myself, I realized — the club is not the best place to meet. Why? First, very noisy, second, dark, third, all “a bit” under shafe. So if you want seriousness, the club disappears by itself. The options were few — either the Internet or wait for the mercy of lady Luck and look out for the Prince at bus stops, in shops, cafes and so on. But I am a person who is not used to sit idly by, so I turned to the Internet.

    Actually, I used the same principle as when looking for a job, except that I did not get up early, and, I must admit, it is more pleasant to look through the profiles of nice guys than vacancies. The girlfriend reacted to the surprise consensus — fuuu! How could you! Internet Dating is awful, the Internet is one maniacs and anxious. Frustrated and ashamed, I was about to wrap up my campaign to find a mate, but first decided to consult with an old friend. “What’s wrong with that? “what is it?” he asked. “The Internet is only one way, so why should you turn it down?” Because of the opinions of others? Are they married or paired?”At that time, indeed, most of my friends were single. So I decided not remove its held and to continue the search, but not advertise this. Indeed, maniacs and not quite sane young people-more than enough, but normal guys who know the lessons of politeness, too, there were many! In General, in the first few messages you can understand — adequate person or not. I met some interesting people, and we became friends with some of them.

    [b] I was amazed at how many well-mannered, educated, affluent guys meet on the Internet.[/b] it Turned out, now this well acceptable way to familiarity for busy people. As one of my new fans said, you can find absolutely beautiful things in the most unexpected places. And really, I think every girl has ever been on a total sale in a clothing store. Oh, chaos! By the middle of the day, the store workers can not cope-and here and there there are huge, I’m not afraid of the word, piles of clothes. I somehow hated to rummage in these piled things, like the store, and you feel in the market, as my friend says-a dung beetle. But once in such a dump, I managed to pick up an absolutely stunning dress! So, returning to the folk wisdom, it is not a place that makes a man, but a man a place. And the Internet is no exception. When my friends found out about my “operation Y”, they did not laugh — next to me was a beautiful man. Although, perhaps, the word “turned out” is not suitable, because our couple was formed as a result of active searches for each other. Discard your prejudices, friends also ceased to disdain the Internet that ultimately resulted in two weddings where I was lucky enough to visit! Of course, I’m not saying that the Internet is the perfect place to meet and find your soul mate, no, this is only one of the possible options.

    [img]https://www.stihi.ru/pics/2018/03/31/10837.jpg[/img]

    And if you decided to approach this problem with all seriousness, then why deprive yourself of additional opportunities to solve the problem? [b]Importantly understand, that, first, immediately, this second, relations not will appear, the search for-no easy labor.[/b] Moreover, the relations themselves are not a continuous holiday, but, again, the result of the efforts made and compromises reached. Think about whether you want to sacrifice something, starting with your time and effort and ending with something more, such as giving up a job or a favorite hobby, in favor of the family.

    Therefore, having defined the desires, it remains only to act, because we-women – can afford to do several things at the same time and, so it happened historically — to make efforts, one way or another, is also our path, whether it is directly your actions or coordination and delegation. Go for it!

    [b] and hopefully the fish you manage to fish out will be Golden.[/b]

    Personally I tried my Luck here:
