Full transcript
Mr Farah, before we start today's check-up, could you describe exactly what's been happening with your right ear over the past few days?
Dhagtayda midig ayaa isku xidhan noqotay, dhawaaqyada waxaan u dhagaystaa sida mid aad u fog, waxaanan dareemayaa sida haddii biyo ku jiraan gudaheeda.
Have you been using cotton buds inside your ear canal, or did you go swimming recently this week, perhaps at a local lake or pool?
Maya, ma isticmaalin wax cotton bud ah, laakiin toddobaadkan waxaan ku dabaalday Lake Wendouree.
Your ear canal is quite blocked with built-up wax; I'll book you in for an irrigation procedure at two-thirty this Thursday afternoon.
Ma xanuun badan buu leeyahay howlgalkaas, mise waa mid fudud oo aan xanuun badnayn?
It's usually a painless procedure; please put softening drops in your ear three times daily for three days beforehand, starting tonight.
Waan fahmay. Miyaan awoodaa inaan shaqada aado maalintii kadib procedure-ka?
Yes, you can return to work straight after the appointment, but if you notice any bleeding or sharp pain, don't wait—come back to Grampians Health immediately.
Waan ku mahadsanahay talada. Ma dabaali karaa haddii aan dareemo dhagtaydu way bogsatay?
Please avoid swimming for at least one week after the irrigation, and keep your ear completely dry whenever you shower or bathe.
Waan fahmay oo waxaan la socon doonaa talooyinkaaga oo dhan. Mahadsanid caawimaaddaada.
