Full transcript
You mentioned your right ear has felt blocked since Monday morning—can you tell me if you've noticed any pain, discharge, or ringing as well?
はい、月曜日の朝からずっと右耳が詰まった感じがして、時々耳鳴りもあります。痛みはそれほどありません。
Have you been swimming lately, or using cotton buds regularly to clean inside your ears, especially over the past week?
先週末にプールで泳ぎました。それに、綿棒でよく耳の中を掃除する習慣があります。
That could explain it—swimming often traps water in the canal, and cotton buds usually push wax further in rather than removing it properly.
そうなんですね…治療は必要でしょうか？耳垢を取る処置をしていただけるんでしょうか？
I'll use an otoscope to check for wax buildup, fluid, or signs of infection, then may recommend softening drops for three days before syringing.
わかりました。実は以前、点耳薬を使ってアレルギー反応が出たことがあるので、少し心配です。
That's important to know—if you've reacted to drops before, we won't use an oil-based solution; instead we'll choose a gentler saline option.
それなら安心です。もし治療をしても治らなかった場合は、どうすればいいですか？
If the blockage doesn't clear within a week after treatment, I'll refer you to Prince of Wales Hospital's ENT clinic for further assessment.
承知しました。ありがとうございます。よろしくお願いいたします。
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue 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.
