Capabilities

• Blindsight/Echolocation: By hearing the changes of sound.

• Heartbeat Detection: By sensing heartbeats without placing ears to a person's chest via sounds, echoes, etc.
• Infra-Sound Hearing: Ability to hear infra-sounds which are below the normal hearing range since infra-sounds are produced by several natural forces the user is able to sense natural disasters (earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.) Several machines produce these voices as well, so a user could hear when they start malfunctioning.
