Yes, you could call it a direct object. In the Koine of the GNT, as  
in Classical Attic, AKOUW commonly takes a genitive of the person  
heard or listened to and an accusative of the information or sound  
heard. It's common for many--but not all-- verbs of perception to  
take a (partitive) genitive object.
