I believe the answer is:

syringes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cleans ears' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'being somewhat uneasy ring establishment' is the wordplay.
'being somewhat' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SYRINGES' is hidden in the letters of 'uneasy ring establishment'.

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for syringes that I've seen before include "Injecting devices" , "Fluid-injecting devices" , "Instruments for injections" , "Instruments for injecting or drawing off liquid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
