Seeing With Sound

So awesome. I would love to take a class and hear if I can see without eyes.

That would be sooooo cool.

Good job on the pod.

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen!! It just reminds us of the capacity of the human mind to overcome whatever "disabilities" we are faced with.

All I have to say is Wow!

Most impressive.

This is truly an inspiring story. It's also a great lesson in not allowing obstacles to stop you from achieving things you want to do or being who you want to be.

i still find myself telling people about this pod when I try to describe current.
such an empowering story! we really are unaware of how far our abilities can be stretched...
an amazing young man, and an amazing channel that brought his story to my living room.

What an amazing story! Truly inspirational! I had no idea that humans could echolocate. You have found great characters. It is great to meet the mom as well because you see where Ben gets his inner spirit. The story is well told. You have nicely setup the characters. I love the final shot. It was setup beautifully. You kept showing him play basketball throughout the pod and when he gets it from across the court, it is so satisfying. What amazing individuals!

Wonderful story, we don't hear enough stories about the ability of humans to persevere and adapt to conditions beyond our control.

You don't think about how much you depend on your sight to live every day, and the fact that this young man got past it, is absolutely incredible!

Wonderful pod!

I saw Ben on Oprah as well as in this pod... I learned about blindness and echolocation in a Communication Sciences and Disorders class, and it really is a phenomenal adaptation.

It is wonderful to see people deal with trauma in their lives to the point where they won't let themselves be considered anything but normal. It is truly inspirational to see people like Ben standing up and refusing to have a disability. His life aspirations have a ripple effect and I know they will have an incredible impact on the viewers of this pod. What a great pod!

In conventional society, blind people are considered handicapped. But in fact, their heightened senses give them an advantage which allows them to perform beautifully in environments (like a pitch black room) where us "normal" people would be completely lost!

This is Amazing. I am a music major going into music therapy. Now I know they are not singing to see but they are using sound. That is close enough for me. This just proves that people can not rely on just one sence. I am really just amazed!

I had never even heard of this before...incredible story, well told.

OH MY GOSH this is incredible. Thank you so much for making this. It's beautiful. Nice job.

When I saw this movie on TV, I was amazed. I'd like to learn more about echolocation.

I just saw this for the first time today... amazing. And I was so sad when the end of the pod announced that Ben had passed away in January of 09. My thoughts go out to his family, especially his wonderful mom.

this is really unbelievable...I don't want to sound selfish...but the pic of the first guy at two makes me think of my son...and the third guy looks like me...the whole presentation brings on such EMPATHY...it is SO well produced....

This is such an amazing story....inspiring on a whole other level......this is why I really enjoy current TV and current.com.....such a wonderful learning experience....

Before watching this, I did not know that humans were capable of echolocation. It is truly an incredible skill. Thanks for sharing this story.
