由于听力测试显示她有中度耳聋,茉莉被转给一位耳鼻喉专家,这位专家给她做了CT扫描,结果很糟糕:她受到细菌感染,并且感染正在“侵蚀”她耳后的颅骨。
"You should have come to see me four or five years ago," the specialist reportedly told Jasmine. "You need surgery yesterday."
据报道,这位专家告诉她:“你四五年前就该来找我看病,你早该做手术了。”
Jasmine eventually underwent a 5-hour surgery to remove the infected tissue and reconstruct her ear canal. The surgeons told her that she had cotton fibers lodged in her ear, which had become infected.
为了把受感染的组织摘除并重建耳道,茉莉接受了5小时的手术。外科医生告诉她,棉纤维卡在了她已经受到感染的耳朵里。
ear canal:耳道,耳孔
"The cotton had been collecting and festering for as long as five years, and my skull bone behind the ear was paper-thin," Jasmine said.
茉莉说:“在长达5年的时间里,棉纤维不断聚集并溃烂。我耳后的颅骨已经变得像纸一样薄。”
fester ['festə]:vi.溃烂;化脓
It's a misperception that cotton swabs are safe for cleaning ears. They are not. Indeed, the packaging for Q-tips even states, "Do not insert swab into ear canal," according to Business Insider.
商业内幕网站报道称,棉签可以安全地清洁耳朵是一种误解。事实并非如此。实际上,棉签的包装袋上写着:“别用棉签掏耳朵。”
