auditory training for the blind

[Matt Marble <hamletist@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have always found it odd that those most knowledgable of the hearing
sciences haven't attempted to work with the population that needs auditory
awareness most, those first encountering blindness. Perhaps there is already
an existing relationship? I am curious what kind of references you might
have to offer - any kind of auditory training (echolocation, identification
based on spectral cues, etc, etc). Thanks,

Matt
