earpiece

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

'telephone component' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'a listener to music' is the wordplay.
'a listener' becomes 'ear' (I've seen this before).
'to music' becomes 'piece' (piece is a kind of music).
'ear'+'piece'='EARPIECE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for earpiece that I've seen before include "Through which one may listen" , "receiver" , "Part of a telephone" , "box?" , "for audibility" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
