Blind Boy Uses Echolocation | Extraordinary Animals | BBC Earth 

bullshit

He was diagnosed aged 3 with Optic Glioma and an inoperable brain tumour which over a matter of months caused him to lose his vision. The poor child died in 2009 aged just 8.

Bruh I just got finished crying over Ben Underwood...

My god. This is so sad.

Jesus Christ. I did not expect this

Bit pointless typing it when he's blind...

lorenzo maes if we lived in a world that lacked software commonly used by the blind that converts text to speech, you'd be quite right!

He died from an aggresive glioma two years later :(

yes

sorry mate... found this , really sad. www.samueloldridge-appeal.org/aboutsam0.html

@@snotrat2 what's that?

konchog3 but then you know not everyone can afford that

Great hypothesis!

konchog3 yesssssssssssssss yes yes you are on right vision and yess its possible you hit on the nose everything you just said happens to every one but just in different aspects all of the hearing vision through a vibration can send a picture and let's practice you can figure out what's that image is through a frequency brought back by Soundwaves wow u open a door

konchog3 If he’s been blind since birth, it won’t produce any “picture” at all...he would perceive it in some other way than what we do when we picture things in our head. people blind since birth dream in smells and sound and feeling. They have no idea what vision is even like. Trying to get blind people to understand vision is virtually impossible. He can *sense* distance...but he can’t picture anything. The method you’re describing is a great idea. One boy who did this, was able to “see” almost as good as someone with sight. His skill at echolocation was honed naturally. He rode a bicycle, played basketball, etc. Seems impossible, but he did it.

What i wanne know is what it looks like does he just time how long it takes him to hear the echo or does his brain do something?

visi0nary EXACTLY!!!!

Daredevil doesn't click his tongue 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

@@chiystar1268 We know that.

............

There are two types of people in this world

Garrett Sampson You forgot attack helicopter

Best comment

Ahh a The last of us reference. Nice

Samantha Ash Experience is truly the best teacher

Oh wait...if you are blind,how the hell you typed this huge comment?I guess someone help you right?

You don't think blind people have different aids to help them type?

Rishit Shetty r/woooosh

Samatha, please tell us about the source of the sound that you hear bounding off of objects. Is it basically just normal ambient sounds?

Humans are animals too

@@Mr.Nefarioussness Sorry, you freaking animal.

Due to the dolphins

:(

Mate his eyes are moving in different directions

blind people doesn't have to have gray eyes like toph.

You crazy people.

God heal this kid. But I don't think God can heal him....

If there is a God he shouldn't have blinded him in the first place

@@arianrashid5745 exactly. and he died too which makes this worse

I guess their eyelids adjust to the most relaxed position... Provided there are no irritants

You sure you're not confusing him to Ben Underwood?

Is Ben underwood spelled the same as Sam Oldridge? Because if not i am pretty sure i am not confused.

+snotrat2 Stop spreading rumors...

google it

snotrat2 I did...nothing says he's dead

well, we are animals but I get the point xD Also I think the title is because the episode goes about dolphins but they decided to briefly talk about Sam and his echlocation skills

He died the following year. gftkd.co.uk/samuel-oldridge-cup

@@gl2k43 Oh... Thank you for telling me, I hope is in peace, he look like a really sweet boy : (

Tiffany Zette Ben underwood is

Image if he just screamed like the guy who played toph in the theater they watched in that one episode 😂

Toph

human eyesight is good enough that we dont need such a thing as echo location,blind people body automaticly develop it because their body lose the sense used to see their surounding

far from it

animals!!!!!!!!

well he is using one of his 5 hearing, however as he said when one goes the others compensate his hearing is very attuned.

Oh I see.

not to impugn you just saying i love science and researching improved and new abilities.

+Offtrailed Dino There's loads, the traditional 5 are just the obvious ones: Proprioception - you can sense your body's position without moving or looking. Heat (don't have to touch, we can detect infrared through our skin) Balance (arguably a specialist sense of touch) Rotational inertia (arguably as above) Acceleration (you can sense going into freefall without using any other standard sense) etc etc...

Those are as incredible as telekinesis!
