listener

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ear perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'let siren damage' is the wordplay.
'damage' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'damaged' mean this).
'let'+'siren'='letsiren'
'letsiren' anagrammed gives 'LISTENER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for listener that I've seen before include "Member of radio audience" , "Former BBC magazine" , "Auditor" , "Eavesdropper" , "One being attentive to sounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
