The human body is amazing. People can train themselves to do great things, like breaking sports records or finding ways to live with disabilities. Ben Underwood is a good example of someone who trained his body and mind to do something special.
Ben lost his sight when he was three years old because of retinal cancer, a type of eye disease. Even though he couldn’t see, Ben didn’t give up. When he was about five, his mother noticed he was making clicking sounds with his tongue. These sounds seemed to help him understand what was around him.
This ability is called echolocation. Echolocation is something animals like bats and dolphins use. They make sounds, and when the sounds hit an object, they bounce back as echoes. The animals listen to the echoes to know where things are and how big they are. It was amazing that Ben could do this too, by clicking his tongue.
Doctors checked Ben’s hearing to see if he had better hearing than others. They found that his hearing was normal. This was surprising because echolocation usually needs very good hearing. So how was Ben able to use echolocation?
At first, people thought blind people might hear better to help them “see.” But tests showed that most blind people have normal hearing. Brain scans helped explain this. They showed that when blind people hear echoes, the parts of their brain that usually help them see with their eyes become active. This means that even without sight, the brain can use sound to help understand the world.
Blind people learn to move around by clicking their tongues and listening to echoes. This helps them know the shape and size of things nearby. They use the sounds to build a picture of their surroundings in their mind.
By the time he was a teenager, Ben could ride a bike and skateboard safely in his neighbourhood using echolocation. This took a lot of practice and patience. Ben’s story shows how people can do amazing things when they are determined. Sadly, Ben died in when he was years old, but he is still remembered as an inspiring example of human ability.
