Canadian comic actor and writer Don Harron is well known for his TV and book character Charlie Farquharson, popular on the Hee Haw television show. Mr. Harron shared the following in his public service announcements for BHI: “My father was awarded the Military Cross at Cambrai in 1919 because he heard the enemy in trenches 200 yards away preparing for a surprise attack. I inherited that sensitive hearing system, but my razor-sharp, 20-20 hearing ended with an accident on the set of my television comedy series. I played an Olympic culler who used his oar as a vaulting pole. Instead of vaulting onto a mat, my forehead hit the cement studio floor. I missed the laughs- but even worse, I immediately got a fierce ringing in my left ear, and later a 40 percent hearing loss. It’s not funny that one out of 10 of us has a significant hearing loss. Happily most of us can benefit with hearing aids like me. Do you know one of the best things about receiving hearing help? I can now watch old movies at 3 a.m. without the TV volume waking my wife!”
