I know blind people who wish their echolocation skills were better.
What I am trying to say: expect months or years for training, not days. Besides, it is not only blind people who have excellent directional hearing, conductors are forced by their trade to be able to point at the fiddle player they want to correct. So it is definitely a skill which can be picked up. But it takes some years to get to a level where it is useful.

- tsol 4y agoFew days was a random guess really haha. There was that study where they found people's vision flipped after a week of wearing goggles that project the world upside down. Interesting to hear it's such a complex skill. I suppose I've never really used my sense of hearing to its full potential.
