Abstract

This study employs bibliometric and visualized analysis to explore research hotspots, developmental trends, and structural features in narratives of individuals with hearing impairments. Using CiteSpace, relevant literature from Web of Science and CNKI was analyzed through keyword co-occurrence, thematic clustering, and collaboration networks. Results indicate that domestic studies focus mainly on practical applications such as education and intervention, whereas international research emphasizes mechanisms, interdisciplinary integration, and technological advances. These findings provide valuable insights for future research directions and rehabilitation practices in the field.
