Needless to say I haven't updated this blog regularly in a long time, but I do get emails all the time from people wanting to share their experience with practicing the "art" of echolocation. So thank you to those people!
If you'd like to share your experience with everyone else I will be accepting guest posts on this blog from now on, so please contact me of you would like to contribute. Additionally, it would be great to have contributors willing to post regularly about different ways of learning. Get in touch with me via email at: tim.johnson81 @ gmail.com
Thanks for your help and your understanding that I've simply got too much on my plate right now to keep this up the way I'd like to.

Just like to say I hope you keep updating, love this blog its very interesting and helpful.
I would love if you could describe more how it feels to echolocate compared to the experience of seeing your surroundings.
Thanks I'm so glad you find it interesting.
I think the "feeling" of echo location is very interesting but it's not uncommon and I'm sure you've experienced it yourself. all it is is allowing yourself to recognize the slight variations in the sounds around you. For instance, when I'm sitting at my desk at the office there is usually a radio playing music to my right. it's not obvious that the sound is louder in my right ear until I hold up a book or price of paper on my left side. at that point the music bounces off the book and becomes much louder in my left ear. you can start making small changes to the angle of the book and you'll start to notice small differences in the sound. echo location is just getting more familiar with those variations and understanding what they mean about the shape of an object.
Good luck! Keep us posted on your progress. Let me know if you want to contribute an article.
Hi! Just emailed you about your blog. I admire your work!
I just discovered this ability but difference is that I don't have to concentrate on the sound. just on the noise inside my head. Like a tinitus (bell?) that is permanently there and vibrating.
Also enviroment without noise, like a dark quiet room still works and seems to work better.
Thanks!
