Abstract

Regular active listening is necessary for the deaf and hard hearing people (DHH) in their hearing recovery, but the associated hearing activities are typically not adequate for them for reasons of some sort. Although some new desktop computer-assisted tools have been developed to facilitate active listening, the rate of usage is not high. Game applications are better tools for activity base training. Especially, for the DHH, however, limited software is available on the market, particularly to involve them in active listening and speaking. Therefore, this platform base software is the impetus for growing their active listening daily. The feature motivates and excites them as part of the workout, using their voice to play games. A vocal training program relies on the feedback of the special help provided by the schools and the challenges they encounter when teaching how to develop their skills manually.

Keywords: DHH, Game application, deaf, vocal training
