Each subject made a recording of sustained /i/ and /a/, four VbV as and four VsV. The Praat 4.1.6. was used for analysis. The results of this study were as follows: First, F0 of children with hearing impairment were higher than normal children. Second, /a/ vowel was showed that F1, F2 and duration were higher than normal children. Third, /i/ vowel was showed that F1 and duration were higher than normal children.
