If sound matters, why? I am not alone in fearing blindness, because we live in a world of visuals. Whether I am reading a book, following street signs, or hopping on a train, I can\u2019t imagine navigating a world without my eyes. I tune out the cacophony of cars, squeaks, barks, and pedestrian crossings on a daily basis. In privileging sight, what am I missing in sound? \n\n\u201cWhen you close your eyes you begin to feel your body. You become aware of your non-visual abilities,\u201d said Thomas Tajo, a blind echolocator. I speak with human echolocators, eye researchers, and music professors to discover just how much sound has to offer. Close your eyes. Tune in, and listen to what is revealed.\n\nProducer: Chloe Barreau\n\nMusic: \nVeni Creator Spiritus by John Dunstable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dYAEpf-A-A)\nLost and Found by Podington Bear\nThree Colors by Podington Bear
