The phrase "being ears in" may be confusing to spell, but understanding its pronunciation can help with correct spelling. The correct pronunciation is /biːɪŋ/ /ɪəz/ /ɪn/, which breaks down as "beeing" with a long 'e' sound, "ears" with a diphthong 'ea' sound, and "in" as a simple 'i' sound. Phonetically, it may be written as "bee-ing earz in." This phrase is commonly used to express the act of eavesdropping on a conversation or listening in on a private discussion without permission.
