A warning system for a hearing-impaired person of a vehicle includes: a sound sensing unit disposed at a vehicle to sense sound outside of the vehicle; a database storing characteristic information of a plurality of specific sounds and visual information corresponding to the characteristic information of the plurality of specific sounds; an output unit outputting visual information corresponding to the plurality of specific sounds; and a controller extracting characteristic information of the sound sensed by the sound sensing units. In particular, the controller determines a type of the sensed sound by comparing the extracted characteristic information of the sensed sound with the characteristic information of the plurality of specific sounds stored in the database, and outputs visual information corresponding to the determined type of the sensed sound through the output unit.
