- The Communication Strategies scale of the Communication Profile for the Hearing Impaired (CPHI) was translated into Swedish and used in several studies of people with hearing impairment (Hallberg & Carlsson, in press; Hallberg, Erlandsson, & Carlsson, 1991). In this study the scale was evaluated in terms of descriptive statistics, corrected item-total correlations, principal component analysis, and internal consistency reliability. Agreement with results from American studies is surprisingly good. Normative data based on three samples are presented: a general Swedish hearing-impaired sample with predominantly sensorineural hearing loss (N = 199), a subgroup of 105 younger subjects with noise-induced hearing loss, and a subgroup of 39 older subjects with sensorineural hearing loss due to heredity and/or old age. A significantly more frequent use of maladaptive behaviors (p less than .001) and verbal communication strategies (p less than .01) was reported by older subjects with age-related and/or hereditary hearing loss than by younger subjects with noise-induced hearing loss. The Communication Strategies scale seems to be an adequately reliable and clinically useful instrument for assessing adaptive and maladaptive strategies in hearing-impaired subjects.

- The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of what hearing-impaired people are doing to deal with demanding auditory situations in everyday life. Twelve middle-aged subjects with clinical hearing impairments were interviewed monthly during 5 months. The interviews focused on the subjects' own descriptions of demanding auditory situations and what they did, thought and felt in these situations. Verbatim transcribed protocols were content-analysed according to Grounded Theory. Fourteen categories were grounded in the data, forming a model for dealing with demanding auditory situations, including two qualitatively different management patterns: 'to control the social scene' and 'to avoid the social scene'. The emerging core variable was socio-psychological: the hearing-impaired individuals strive to maintain the normal identity and to prevent their definition as deviant in interactions with hearing people. The result of the inductive study was verified in a deductive study of 50 hearing-impaired subjects.

- Coping strategies are presumed to be modifying factors between a hearing impairment and the perceived handicap. The focus of this investigation was to explore audiological and psychological factors affecting the perceived handicap in hearing-impaired middle-aged subjects. The Hearing Measurement Scale, supplemented by a subjective estimation of the perceived handicap, was used as the dependent variable in a study of 62 subjects, heterogeneous as to type and severity of hearing loss and to hearing aid use. In a stepwise regression analysis, maladaptive communication strategies as well as active and constructive coping behaviours were found to increase the self-perception of hearing handicap. Other significant variables were severity of hearing loss and years of education. Tinnitus symptoms did not contribute to the explained variance in the perceived handicap, which was an unexpected finding. A conclusion that may be drawn from the present study is that active coping strategies tend to focus attention on disability and thereby increase perceived handicap.
