Ben Underwood taught is blind, both of his eyes were removed (cancer)
when he was 3. Yet, he plays basketball, rides on a bicycle, and lives
a quite normal life. He taught himself to use echo location to
navigate around the world. With no guide-dogs, he doesn't even
need hands: he uses sound. Ben makes a short click sound that bounces
back from objects.
Amazingly, his ears pick up the ecos to let
him know where the objects are. He's the only person in the world who
sees using nothing but eco location, like a sonar or a dolphin.
