Gets a second hearing (8)
I believe the answer is:
resounds
'gets' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with perception as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resounds that I've seen before include "Reverbrates" , "Reverberates" , "Rings out" , "Echoes with dourness" , "Resonates" .)
