earplugs

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

'organ stops' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'organ stops' is the wordplay.
'organ' becomes 'ear' (the ear is an organ).
'stops' becomes 'plugs' (plug is a kind of stop).
'ear'+'plugs'='EARPLUGS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for earplugs that I've seen before include "Stoppers to keep noise out" , "aids to sleep?" , "noise abatement aids" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
