Hearsay includes listener (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ear

'listener' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hearsay includes' is the wordplay.
'includes' indicates a hidden word.
'EAR' can be found hidden inside 'hearsay'.

(Other definitions for ear that I've seen before include "Hammer in this" , "Lend one and listen" , "Shell-like; corn" , "cut" , "Seed-bearing part of wheat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
