Objectives: To investigate the tactics people use when aural communication fails owing to environmental circumstances or impaired hearing.
Design: Persons with different degrees of self-reported hearing impairment completed an online questionnaire constructed from items taken from the literature on communication strategies but reworded to be understood by people with normal hearing. Tactics were examined for frequency of use in two severities of impairment and between genders.
