Great story. While I’m not visually impaired, I have experimented many times with echolocation. It’s a very easy thing to do. All you need do is to close your eyes for a few hours and decide you’re going to relearn the inside of your house as if you were blind. There needs to be a source of sound, such as a radio playing. Do not open your eyes for at least an hour or three, and go on an expedition around your own house. Pretty soon you’ll see the obvious different echo coming from a wall verses drapes. Concave thing verses convex. Round things verses flat things.
It really does work, but your sensitivity level must be raised by orders of magnitude, which only occurs during long immersion practice.
You’ve got wayyy too much time on your hands. J/K
I tried that myself one day......I knocked over the aquarium and fell down the basement steps.
