The Boy With Sonar Vision (Ben Underwood)… He Is Amazing!

ben

Ben Underwood 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’s taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world… He uses no guide-dog, he doesn’t even need hands… he uses sound. Ben makes short click sounds that bounce back from objects… Amazingly, his ears pick up the echoes to let him know where the objects are… He’s the only person in the world who sees using nothing but echo location, like a bat or a dolphin.
