Appendix A: Using sound in performing
O&M tasks
O&M tasks
A person moving without vision relies on hearing to
structure interaction with the environment. Depending on
the situation, sound can be used in very different ways to
obtain information about the environment. This manual
deals with the fi rst level of practical use of sound for
navigation: interactions with single, discrete sound sources.
Interaction with single, discrete sound sources is basic to
many auditory skills and practicing these interactions can
aid development of other, more complex or subtle acoustic
skills. Other practical uses of sound in navigation include
paying attention to more than one source at a time, using
the sudden absence of sound to recognize a doorway or
opening, and paying attention to reverberation delay to
estimate the size of a room or the presence of a large object.

Recall that there are fi ve levels of learning that characterize
the effective use of discrete sounds in the environment.

A child must fi rst be aware of a sound. The child then learns
to discriminate one sound from another or one sound within
a background of other noise. A child must also be able to
to discriminate one sound from another or one sound within
a background of other noise. A child must also be able to
