Do people use Echolocation?

Do People use Echolocation?

Researchers found that people can navigate simply by sound, and not even notice it. Like many animals, especially aquatic/sea animals like dolphins use there Echolocation sounds to find other animals like themselves and talk. This one researcher found that mainly blind people have more of a tendecy to use echolocation, because unlike other humans who can see blind people use more of there other sences to know where there going. To prove his case he told details about a blind man that goes bike riding and uses sharp clicks of his tongue to navigate around alot of things. These sounds familiarize with the sounds of Dophins to show the distance between everything, by the sound bouncing off something and coming back to him.But even if people arent blind many humans can hear better then they think and can hear alot and us echolocation for alot of things. Like when your somewhere and dont think of anything you can actually hear everything around you. Knowing this I believe I will expirement it, and well as others know they can hear everyhting if they try.
