Abstract: This research aims to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) on intelligent sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) in assistive devices for the deaf and hard of hearing. This study analyzes the current state and promise of intelligent sensors in improving the daily lives of those with hearing impairments, addressing the critical need for improved communication and environmental interaction. We investigate the functionality, integration, and use of sensor technologies in assistive devices, assessing their impact on autonomy and quality of life. The key findings show that many sensor-based applications, including vibration detection, ambient sound recognition, and signal processing, lead to more effective and intuitive user experiences. The study emphasizes the importance of energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and user-centric design in developing accessible and sustainable assistive solutions. Moreover, it discusses the challenges and future directions in scaling these technologies for widespread adoption, considering the varying needs and preferences of the end-users. Finally, the study advocates for continual innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing assistive technologies. It highlights the importance of IoT and intelligent sensors in fostering a more inclusive and empowered environment for the deaf and hard-of-hearing people. This review covers studies published between 2011 and 2024, highlighting advances in sensor technologies for assistive systems in this timeframe.
