CODA

Signing family's listener

A coda is the concluding passage of a piece of music, distinct from the main structure and signaling the end.

By extension, coda refers to any concluding section or final part: The last chapter serves as a coda to the trilogy.

In a different sense, CODA (child of deaf adults) describes a hearing person raised by deaf parents.
