[Blindtlk] Loud Places

Sat Apr 4 19:13:02 UTC 2015

For those who are going to National Conventions these are loud and crowded
events. Maybe some basic practice from time to time in loud places can help.

You never know when you are in a loud place or not.  Airports & also bus
terminals also come to mind as well.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Hi Carly,
     The problem I have with loud places, is not being able to tell if
someone is in front of me without hitting them with my cane. I will try the
pencil technique, and not trail the wall like I usually do.

perceived sort of internally, that is, you need not an unobstructed sound
field to glean information about your environment from feedback generated by
echolocation. For me, this  remains absolutely the  case, and is a large
part of perceptual understanding of particularly loud environments. :18 AM

is a lot of noise, and sound can't be relied on for clues. I was in
Starbucks last week, and there was a lot of people. I trailed the wall from
the cash register to the place where I needed to pick up my coffee. There
was a little girl in my path, and I didn't realize it. Her mother got mad,
and told her daughter to move. I want to avoid this from happening again.
So, I am in need of some tips. Thank you in advance!
