Abstract
Currently, the World Health Organization reports that more than 430 million people worldwide have hearing impairment, with a projection of 900 million by 2050. In particular, approximately 35 million children worldwide are affected by this condition. Early cortical auditory development plays a crucial role in a child's life, and any deficiency in auditory function during these formative years can hinder proper synaptic development. This systematic review aims to explore the landscape of technological devices designed to improve communication for children with hearing disabilities. This study analyzed existing literature through rigorous methodology, employing bibliometric network analysis to uncover key insights and utilizing the Scopus database in conjunction with Vosviewer and Visual Basic Applications. As a result, 8,827 scientific documents were obtained, wherein authors, countries, affiliations, document types, publication years, and keywords were analyzed. Articles constituted the majority of these documents, comprising over 64.1%, and the peak in document production occurred in 2022 with 620 documents. In conclusion, the development of technological devices has yielded significant results over the last 20 years, incorporating recent trends such as machine learning and artificial intelligence for creating new devices. However, there was limited consideration for children or the caregivers and family members of individuals with hearing disabilities.
