Couple also heard (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

two

'couple' is the definition.
(a couple can mean two of something)

'also heard' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'too' (synonyms).
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'too' is a homophone of 'TWO'.

(Other definitions for two that I've seen before include "Item" , "II" , "A low number" , "Pair, deuce" , "Minimal number of partners" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
