“In the ears” is metonymy for being able to listen. Alternate translation: “because the people standing on the city wall will hear it and be afraid”
18:26 Hezekiah’s representatives wanted the Assyrian delegation to speak . . . in Aramaic, the language of diplomacy, so that the people who were listening would not understand and be discouraged or frightened.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
