Abstract(in English) Persons with hearing loss cannot be listened to "living sound" which is required in order to live indoors. One way to solve this problem, individual support type system have been sold, for example, a door chime, telephones, and knock on a door. However, such support systems are unsatisfactory from the viewpoint of convenience and cost. For this reason, smartphone application was developed to identify the living sound, succeeded in identifying 10 kinds of living sound. This paper presents the outline of smartphone application that was developed. Furthermore, result of an experiment in the house of persons with hearing loss and a problem from a practical point of view was described.
