Abstract

This article examines modern approaches to cognitive rehabilitation of children with hearing impairments using digital health technologies (DHTs). The neurobiological mechanism of compensatory plasticity of the brain is being investigated, which makes it possible to redistribute cognitive resources in favor of the visual channel in the absence of auditory stimulation. The article analyzes the effectiveness of immersive technologies (VR/AR) in the formation of vital skills and the development of spatial thinking in children with hearing impairments. Special attention is paid to the breakthrough in the use of artificial intelligence for accurate sign language recognition and the creation of predictive models of rehabilitation success with an accuracy of 92%. The application of eye tracking technology for the diagnosis of cognitive load and the development of adaptive educational interfaces based on visual attention patterns is also considered.
