Blind man's fog

from Access All: Disability News and Mental Health · host BBC Sounds

It has been snowing widely in the UK in recent days. But other than it being colder and slippier, what other ways does it affect people who can't see? On this edition of Inside Ouch, Emma Tracey and Damon Rose are joined by sound artist Amie Slavin to discuss how weather can radically affect the sound of the environment around you. All three are blind. Find out why rain can be incredibly helpful when you are trying to orientate yourself. Why is wind so bad? And, other than drifting and slip hazards, how else does snow get in the way of those who can't see? Clue: echolocation plays a part here.
