Complaint received by The Listener? (7)
I believe the answer is:
earache
'complaint' is the definition.
(a type of medical complaint)
'received by the listener?' is the wordplay.
'received' becomes 'ache' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the listener?' becomes 'ear' (body part which hears or listens).
'ache' after 'ear' is 'EARACHE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for earache that I've seen before include "Aural complaint" , "result of nagging?" , "pain (from hairdryer treatment?)" , "Each era (anag)" , "Pain in aural organ" .)
