The study investigated the impact of technology on the academic achievement of hearing-impaired children in Murshidabad district, West Bengal. This research examines how technological interventions such as assistive devices, educational software, and interactive tools influence academic outcomes, language acquisition, and attention maintenance among hearing-impaired students. Through quantitative analysis, including independent t-tests and frequency distributions, data from experimental and control groups reveal significant differences in academic performance and skill development between those using technology and those without. Findings suggest that technology plays a crucial role in improving educational outcomes for hearing-impaired children, potentially bridging gaps in learning and enhancing overall academic success in inclusive educational settings. The study aims to provide empirical evidence and practical insights that inform educational policies and practices to better support the diverse learning needs of hearing-impaired students in rural regions like Murshidabad district.
