Hear wrongly about account — key problem for the listener? (7)
I believe the answer is:
earache
'problem for the listener?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'hear wrongly about account key' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' indicates an anagram.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'account' becomes 'ac' (abbreviation for account).
'key' becomes 'e' (a musical key).
'hear' with letters rearranged gives 'earh'.
'earh' enclosing 'ac' is 'earach'.
'earach'+'e'='EARACHE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for earache that I've seen before include "a problem for some listeners" , "Pain in an aural appendage" , "otitis" , "Ace hare (anag.)" , "listener's discomfort" .)
