Crossword Genius

Unusually tiny, listens with determination (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insistently

'with determination' is the definition.
(in a determined or insistent way)

'unusually tiny listens' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates an anagram.
'tiny'+'listens'='tinylistens'
'tinylistens' anagrammed gives 'INSISTENTLY'.

(Other definitions for insistently that I've seen before include "without let-up" , "in compelling style" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
