Font size of inline code-listings too small

Question

I'm using the listings package and am satisfied with how my code listings look. The font in my inline-listings however is too small compared to the rest of the text. How can I only increase the font size of inline-listings?

this:

There also \lstinline{Send} and \lstinline$Receive$ classes to transfer data

becomes this:

This is my common style:

% common styles
\lstdefinestyle{common} {
  tabsize=2,
  numberstyle=\tiny,
  stepnumber=1, 
  inputencoding=latin1, 
  lineskip=-1pt,
  rulecolor=,
  basicstyle=\ttfamily\footnotesize,
  columns=flexible,
  upquote=true,
  aboveskip={1.3\baselineskip},
  showstringspaces=false,
  extendedchars=true,
  breaklines=false,
  prebreak = \raisebox{0ex}[0ex][0ex]{\ensuremath{\hookleftarrow}},
  escapechar=@,
  frame=single,
  showtabs=false,
  showspaces=false,
  showstringspaces=false,
  identifierstyle=\ttfamily,
  keywordstyle=\color[rgb]{1.0,0,0},
  keywordstyle=[1]\color[rgb]{0.133,0.545,0.133},
  keywordstyle=[2]\color[rgb]{0.5,0.0,0.0},
  keywordstyle=[3]\color[rgb]{0.127,0.427,0.514},
  keywordstyle=[4]\color[rgb]{0.4,0.4,0.4},
  commentstyle=\color[rgb]{0.266,0.537,0.553},
  stringstyle=\color[rgb]{0.769,0.114,0.145},
}

The inline verbatim is small because you specify it that way! Change the line

  basicstyle=\ttfamily\footnotesize,

to

  basicstyle=\ttfamily,

or whatever and you'll be fine.
