auditory navigation

Auditory navigation involves using sound cues to determine your position and movement within an environment. It relies on listening to various auditory signals—such as echoes, echoes’ timing, and spatial sounds—to understand surroundings and avoid obstacles. This technique is especially useful for visually impaired individuals, allowing them to build a mental map of their environment through sound. By interpreting these audio cues, a person can navigate safely and efficiently without relying on sight, making environments more accessible and promoting independence.
