Full transcript
Tell me what's been happening with your ear over the past few days, and exactly when the trouble started.
Ini mulai sekitar empat hari yang lalu, Dokter, setelah saya berenang di danau dekat Ballarat waktu akhir pekan. Sejak itu telinga saya terasa penuh dan agak berdengung.
Have you had any pain, discharge, or fluid coming from the ear today, or is it mainly just a blocked, muffled feeling?
Tidak ada rasa sakit atau cairan yang keluar, Dokter. Hanya terasa seperti tersumbat dan pendengaran saya jadi agak teredam, kadang sedikit gatal.
This looks like earwax buildup, which often happens after swimming in lakes, similar to the one near Ballarat you mentioned earlier. I'll prescribe softening drops for you.
Baik, Dokter. Obat tetes itu digunakan seperti apa? Apakah harus dipakai sebelum tidur atau bisa kapan saja?
Use three drops in the affected ear twice daily for five days, and avoid inserting anything else. If it doesn't improve within a week, come back.
Apakah ada efek samping yang perlu saya perhatikan selama memakainya?
Mild irritation or a brief itching sensation is quite normal, but you won't need antibiotics unless an infection actually develops.
Kalau setelah dua minggu masih belum membaik, saya harus ke mana lagi, Dokter?
If your hearing hasn't fully improved even after two weeks of using the drops, I'll refer you to an audiologist at Ballarat Base Hospital.
Baik, Dokter, saya mengerti. Terima kasih sudah menjelaskan semuanya dengan jelas.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
