I LOVE the fact that his Mom was so inspirational and so encouraging, quite a woman in her own right!

I wish I was that inspirational!

I wish they would have said how he is able to have that clicking ability. Was it something surgically implanted or is it something natural? Amazing all the same.

He makes the clicking noise with his mouth and navigates by the sound that echoes back in his ears. It's called echo location and it's exactly the same way that Dolphins find their way around.

I've heard that when you lose one of your senses the other senses can become heightened but I never would have thought possible you could see with your ears.

Truly remarkable.
