More than one listener oddly ignored legal risk (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ears

'more than one listener' is the definition.

'oddly ignored legal risk' is the wordplay.
'oddly ignored' means one should take alternating letters.
'legal'+'risk'='legalrisk'
The alternate letters of 'legalrisk' are 'EARS'.

(Other definitions for ears that I've seen before include "Organs for 7 down" , "Spikes of corn" , "Corn; organs" , "Listening organs" , "Heads of corn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
