A few words in favor of corn? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earplug

(Other definitions for earplug that I've seen before include "Protection from sound" , "Hearing protector" , "Personal defence against noise (or water)" , "protection from racket" , "Sound excluder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
