Eavesdropping distance (7)

I believe the answer is:

earshot

(Other definitions for earshot that I've seen before include "in audible range" , "Range for hearing" , "catching distance?" , "Hearing distance" , "Within which we hear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today and the Newsday.com.
