H.E.A.R. - a foundation promoting Hearing Education and Awareness for Rockers - got started in l988 when rock and roll musician Kathy Peck joined forces with physican Flash Gordon [sic!], M.D.
In 1990 they launched the educational video Can't Hear You Knocking ("CHYK"), co-produced with Flynner Films of Stockholm (and co-sponsored by the Swedish Board of Health and the Swedish Musicians Union Fund).
The film featured Pete Townsend, Ray Charles, Lars Ulrich of Metalica, Huey Lewis, Ted Nugent, Mickey Hart, hearing health professionals and dedicated H.E.A.R. volunteers.
It received airplay on European and Canadian PBS television. CHYK was distributed to schools and community organizations in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia. H.E.A.R. distributes a school talk 17 minute version of CHYK. The 55 minute broadcast version is distributed by The Cinema Guild Films and Videos on Disability Issues.
