Insider Perspective
Wonder provided a rare glimpse into what life as a blind person is like. He had managed to develop what he (and many others) called “facial radar”, which is an ability that allows one to pick up the echoes bouncing off things close to him. Wonder’s hearing had become so incredibly sharp that he could pick up the minuscule woosh of his hands if he moved them in front of his face. Isn’t that incredible?

Oprah was obviously fascinated with this magical-sounding ability. She wondered out loud whether each thing produced sound, and Wonder confirmed that. He explained that everything possesses a distinct sound according to where it is placed. If Wonder had to enter a room, he would be able to pick up its sounds, according to where objects had been placed. It all comes down to acoustics, which changes according to how a room shifts as things enter and leave.
