Location of the auditory egocentre in the blind and normally sighted.

We estimated the location of the auditory egocentre in congenitally blind, late-onset blind, and normally sighted participants, using a revised auditory version of Howard and Templeton's method. The mean location of the auditory egocentre of the congenitally blind participants was found to be close to the midpoint of the interaural axis or the centre of head rotation. It was significantly different from those in the normally sighted and late-onset blind participants, whose mean location of the auditory egocentre was close to the midpoint of the interocular axis or visual egocentre.
