You get hit locations because you hear them shifting their weight around and can guess how they're positioned.
Realistically, you would need a carefully modulated sound produced from a precisely known location to best echolocate.
It isn't just good hearing.
My talking only tells you where my mouth is, not my body shape. For that you need sound coming from a well known location and echoing off me to your ears.
