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

'showing courage in hurry being unable to hear?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'in hurry being unable to hear?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'hurry' becomes 'fly' (I've seen this before).
'being unable to hear?' becomes 'earless' (you can't hear without ears).
'fly' placed around 'earless' is 'FEARLESSLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fearlessly that I've seen before include "courageously" , "With boldness" , "In intrepid manner" , "With great courage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
