### Patient: I have been experiencing diminished hearing and a hoarse voice recently, my tonsils are also swollen and red. I feel like my self-esteem is also low because of it. What do you think is happening to me?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it seems like you have conductive hearing loss. The fluid in your ear is causing the diminished hearing, and the swollen or red tonsils are likely causing the hoarse voice. We can discuss treatment options to help alleviate your symptoms.
