AB  - Hard of hearing and hearing loss are examples of disabilities that affect some individuals. Some of
the deaf people use sign language to communicate among themselves as well as the normal people. This
language is known as the sign language. The sign language for people with hearing loss depends on the
movements of the hand which simultaneously combine facial expression, eyes and body movement and lip
patterns. There is a need not with standing for making e-Learning accessible to the hearing impaired and deaf
individuals. Now a days, the e-Learning Models for the deaf and hearing impaired individuals are very limited.
They in fact are being isolated from getting the benefits from this technology. This study aimed to examine the
existing e-Learning Models for the hearing impaired and deaf people in different case studies based on the
reviews of previous related studies which are analyzed by using the content analysis approach. From the
analysis, ten e-Learning Models were found during 2009-2016. The web-based education for the deaf and
hearing impaired people has the highest overall rank according to the other studies related to the
previous e-Learning Models. Furthermore, although, the web-based education is important for the deaf people
in the e-Learning systems they still have major problems when accessing the e-Learning platforms via the web.
