Full transcript
What's been happening with your ear? You mentioned it feels blocked—when did you first notice this, and has your hearing changed at all?
ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಸುಮಾರು ಮೂರು ದಿನಗಳಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ಎಡ ಕಿವಿ ಮುಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡಂತೆ ಇದೆ. ಶಬ್ದಗಳು ಮಂದವಾಗಿ ಕೇಳಿಸುತ್ತವೆ, ವಿಶೇಷವಾಗಿ ಫೋನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುವಾಗ.
Do you have any pain, discharge, or dizziness? Also, have you been swimming or gotten water in that ear recently?
ನೋವು ಏನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಆದರೆ ಕಿವಿ ತುಂಬಿದ ಹಾಗೆ ಅನ್ನಿಸುತ್ತೆ. ಕಳೆದ ವಾರಾಂತ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಈಜುಕೊಳಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದೆ, ಆಗ ನೀರು ಒಳಗೆ ಹೋಗಿರಬಹುದು.
I can see quite a bit of wax buildup blocking your ear canal. I'd like to refer you to the audiology clinic at Bendigo Health for microsuction.
ಸರಿ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಆದರೆ ಈ ಮೈಕ್ರೋಸಕ್ಷನ್ ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಏನು? ನೋವಾಗುತ್ತಾ? ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಮಯ ಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತೆ, ಮತ್ತು ಏನಾದ್ರೂ ಅಪಾಯ ಇದೆಯಾ?
The procedure usually takes about twenty minutes. The audiologist gently suctions the wax out under a microscope—it's not painful, just a little noise.
ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಹಣ ಕೊಡಬೇಕಾ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್? ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿ ಖಾಸಗಿ ಆರೋಗ್ಯ ವಿಮೆ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಮೆಡಿಕೇರ್ ಕಾರ್ಡ್ ಮಾತ್ರ ಇದೆ.
I'll send the referral now. They have an opening this Thursday at three thirty in the afternoon, and it won't cost you anything if you're bulk-billed.
ಸರಿ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಗುರುವಾರದವರೆಗೆ ಕಾಯಬೇಕಲ್ಲ, ಅಲ್ಲಿಯವರೆಗೆ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಏನಾದ್ರೂ ಮಾಡಬಹುದಾ, ಕಿವಿ ಇನ್ನೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಳ್ಳದ ಹಾಗೆ?
Until then, you can use a few drops of olive oil each night to soften the wax. Please don't insert cotton buds or anything else into your ear.
ಅರ್ಥ ಆಯಿತು ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಆಲಿವ್ ಎಣ್ಣೆ ಹಾಕ್ತೀನಿ, ಕಾಟನ್ ಬಡ್ ಬಳಸಲ್ಲ. ಗುರುವಾರ ಅಪಾಯಿಂಟ್ಮೆಂಟ್ಗೆ ಬರ್ತೀನಿ, ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
