[.. So, regarding the interpretation of "This is my body", how do we know who has ears to hear? ..]

What is Christs body, "the bread" or his body(the church)?..
Much metaphor here.. including "ears to hear"..
Christ's body and the church are both metaphor's of the same thing..
The bread and blood are additional metaphors...
Three metaphors with the same message and good news..

How does that show us "who has ears to hear" regarding what Jesus meant by "This is My Body"?
