Assault with sound (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deafen

(Other definitions for deafen that I've seen before include "Make unable to hear" , "Render senseless" , "Overload ears of" , "Noisily overwhelm" , "Blowing a trumpet in someone's ear would do!" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
