How the clue works
The definition here is Reprimand, pointing to a good telling-off. You take TEARFUL (meaning "sad") or FEARFUL (meaning "scared") and chop off the first letter — that's the "losing head" bit — leaving you with EARFUL, with "it's even worse in stereo" serving as a witty surface hint about getting a scolding in both ears.
