동영상 대본 및 핵심 요약 읽기

핵심 요약 (60초 가이드):

  • 응급 의료 및 위기 안전 최우선: 72시간 이내의 돌발성 난청, 심장 박동과 동기화되는 박동성 이명이나 한쪽 귀 이명, 심한 어지럼증이 있으면 즉시 진료를 받으세요. 심한 정신적 고통이나 위기감을 느끼면 988로 전화하거나 문자를 보내시고 응급 가이드를 확인하세요.
  • TFI가 측정하는 항목: Meikle 등(2012)이 개발한 이 25문항 임상 도구는 지난 일주일간의 경험을 8개 하위 척도(침투성, 통제감, 집중력, 수면, 청각, 이완, 삶의 질, 정서)에 걸쳐 0~100점으로 평가합니다.
  • 하위 척도에서 맞춤 실천으로: 시간이 지나면서 약 13점 이상 감소하면 임상적으로 의미 있는 호전을 뜻합니다. 0~100 기준 점수와 하위 척도 차트를 청각사, 이비인후과 전문의 또는 인지행동치료(CBT) 전문가에게 가져가세요.

동영상 대본 (0:00–1:00):

  1. (0:00–0:08) 이명이 삶의 어느 영역에 가장 큰 영향을 주는지 궁금하신가요? 이명 기능 지수, 즉 TFI는 0점부터 100점까지의 명확한 임상 기준점을 제시해 줍니다.
  2. (0:08–0:17) 먼저 응급 증상을 확인하세요. 72시간 이내의 돌발성 난청, 심장 박동 소리와 같은 박동성 또는 한쪽 귀 이명, 심한 어지럼증이 있다면 즉시 진료를 받으시고, 감당하기 힘든 고통을 느끼면 988로 전화나 문자를 보내세요.
  3. (0:17–0:26) 아래 25개 문항에 답할 때는 수면, 집중력, 이완, 청각, 기분 등 8가지 영역에서 지난 일주일간의 평소 경험을 떠올려 보세요.
  4. (0:26–0:36) 0점에서 100점 사이의 총점은 전반적인 영향을 보여주며, 시간 경과에 따라 다시 측정하면 13점 이상 감소했는지를 통해 실질적인 호전을 확인할 수 있습니다.
  5. (0:36–0:45) 8개 하위 척도 분석 또한 매우 중요합니다. 수면을 위한 침대 옆 소리 풍부화, 업무 중 배경음, 또는 청력검사 중 무엇부터 시작할지 알려줍니다.
  6. (0:45–0:53) TFI 결과표를 저장하거나 인쇄하여 청각사, 이비인후과 전문의 또는 인지행동치료 전문가와 상담할 때 활용해 보세요.
  7. (0:53–1:00) 지금 바로 이 동영상 아래로 스크롤하여 지난 일주일을 평가하고 맞춤형 TFI 점수와 실천 계획을 확인해 보세요.
