Complaint made by artist embraced by every European (7)
I believe the answer is:
earache
'complaint' is the definition.
(a type of medical complaint)
'artist embraced by every european' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'embraced by' is an insertion indicator.
'every' becomes 'each' ('each' can be a synonym of 'every').
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'ra' going within 'each' is 'earach'.
'earach'+'e'='EARACHE'
'made by' is the link.
(Other definitions for earache that I've seen before include "listener's discomfort" , "sort of pain" , "otitis" , "a problem for some listeners" , "Lughole pain" .)
