Suffer; am misusing anti-cold and noise protection (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
ear muffs
'anti-cold and noise protection' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'suffer am misusing' is the wordplay.
'misusing' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'misuse' mean this).
'suffer'+'am'='sufferam'
'sufferam' is an anagram of 'EAR-MUFFS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
