Abstract
The accessibility of technology for people with disabilities is a critical topic that addresses the need for inclusive design and the development of assistive technologies. As society increasingly relies on digital platforms, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can access and utilize these technologies is essential for promoting digital equity. Approximately 466 million people worldwide have hearing loss, and this number is expected to rise to 900 million by 2050. This paper illustrates the need for more inclusive technologies as well as designing digital content and experiences that are accessible to users with diverse abilities. By doing so, we can create a more inclusive and equitable digital landscape that empowers individuals with disabilities to fully participate in the online world.
