'issue for viewer' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'ed sheeran's playing with sting' is the wordplay.
'playing with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ed'+'sheerans'='edsheerans'
'edsheerans' anagrammed with 'sting' makes 'NEAR-SIGHTEDNESS'.

'creating' is the link.
