Br_logo_small What needs the ear
If it would hear?

This is a riddle about the letter H . What needs the e-a-r if it would h-e-a-r. It's a wiley riddle with lots of possibilities. For many, it brought to mind the mechanics of hearing. The ear needs an ear drum, or sound and vibrations. Someone else was philosophical, saying the ear needs to listen if it would hear. And another pair of players were just plain funny, saying, "Please, get a piano tuner for the ear that hears."

NEW RIDDLE:
My first can make an arrow fly
My next with O a yes reply
Combined I please the nose and eye.
(answer: see 8/4/12 piece)
