We aimed to conduct a scoping review of ear, hearing, and vestibular health literature in NZ over the past 50 years, with a particular focus on equity research in underserved communities. The review was undertaken using PRISMA guidelines and managed using Covidence. Several databases were searched, and data charting and extraction processes occurred for consensus. Peer-reviewed studies (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 77) were examined and study characteristics and seven overarching themes emerged. There have been notable changes in research approaches and advancements in treatments and technology. However, inequitable ear disease and hearing loss and barriers to accessing ear and hearing healthcare persist especially for Māori and Pacific communities. Recommendations in literature emphasise the importance of preventative measures, targeting resources, strengthening local and workforce capacity, and focusing on policy/strategic directions. This review highlights key avenues for future research, practice, and policy aimed at effectively addressing the inequities in ear and hearing health outcomes.

However, there was no significant support for the role of emotions in influencing social acceptability.

The purpose behind the project was to explore kaumātua and their whānau lived experiences of hearing loss and HHC. Hearing health care professionals' and Māori health professionals' perspectives were also examined. Through a Kaupapa Māori lens and reflexive thematic analysis, the sense of hearing was identified as a taonga among kaumātua. However, colonisation, societal stigma of hearing loss, and barriers to accessing whānau-centred HHC and hearing technology continue to impact kaumātua with hearing difficulties and their whānau. Hard-of-hearing kaumātua can thrive in their communities when they and their whānau are supported. Highlighted in this article are key recommendations for the Crown and health sector based on research partner narratives including valuing and prioritising whānau-centered care; supporting whakawhanaungatanga, Māori HHC leadership and culturally safe care; continuing Kaupapa Māori research endeavours and adopting an Indigenous rights-based approach to hearing health. &lt;b&gt;Glossary of kupu Māori (Māori words): Hauora Māori&lt;/b&gt;: Māori health; &lt;b&gt;Ihirangaranga&lt;/b&gt;: Healing sound vibrations; &lt;b&gt;Iwi&lt;/b&gt;: Tribe/s; &lt;b&gt;Kanohi ki te kanohi&lt;/b&gt;: Face-to-face; &lt;b&gt;Karakia&lt;/b&gt;: Prayer/blessing; &lt;b&gt;Karanga&lt;/b&gt;: Ceremonial call or summoning; &lt;b&gt;Kaumātua&lt;/b&gt;: Māori elder/s; &lt;b&gt;Kaupapa&lt;/b&gt;: Main purpose of the encounter or collective vision; &lt;b&gt;Kaupapa Māori&lt;/b&gt;: Embedded within Māori practices, values, beliefs, it is a by Māori, for Māori, with Māori, philosophical and relational way of doing, connecting, being, and thinking; &lt;b&gt;Kaupapa whānau&lt;/b&gt;: Members with a common purpose or disabling experience who provide supporting and nurturing roles that traditional whānau provide; &lt;b&gt;Koha&lt;/b&gt;: Gift; &lt;b&gt;Kōrero&lt;/b&gt;: speak/discussion; &lt;b&gt;Mana&lt;/b&gt;: Power; &lt;b&gt;Mana motuhake&lt;/b&gt;: Independence, autonomy; &lt;b&gt;Manaakitanga&lt;/b&gt;: The act of support and showing respect; &lt;b&gt;Māori&lt;/b&gt;: The Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand also refers to normal/ordinary; &lt;b&gt;Māori-ki-te-Māori&lt;/b&gt;: Māori to Māori; &lt;b&gt;Marae&lt;/b&gt;: Māori communal and sacred meeting grounds where Māori values and philosophy are reaffirmed; &lt;b&gt;Mātauranga Māori&lt;/b&gt;: Māori body of knowledge, epistemology, and worldview; &lt;b&gt;Me rongo i te whanaungatanga&lt;/b&gt;: Feeling connected; &lt;b&gt;Mihimihi&lt;/b&gt;: Greeting; &lt;b&gt;Mokopuna&lt;/b&gt;: Grandchildren; &lt;b&gt;Paepae&lt;/b&gt;: Place on the marae where orators sit, stand, and deliver their speeches; &lt;b&gt;Rōpū&lt;/b&gt;: Group/s; &lt;b&gt;Taha hinengaro&lt;/b&gt;: Mental and emotional wellbeing; &lt;b&gt;Tāmaki Makaurau&lt;/b&gt;: Auckland region, Tāmaki-desired-by-many or Tāmaki of 100 lovers; &lt;b&gt;Tamariki Māori&lt;/b&gt;: Māori child/ren; &lt;b&gt;tanga&lt;/b&gt;: Being in the state of; &lt;b&gt;Tāngata whaikaha&lt;/b&gt;: People with lived experiences of disability; &lt;b&gt;Tāngata whaikaha kaumātua&lt;/b&gt;: Kaumātua with lived experiences of disability; &lt;b&gt;Tangata whenua&lt;/b&gt;: People of the land; &lt;b&gt;Ta","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"55 3","pages":"633-652"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11841099/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143485477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additional custom questionnaires probed subjective experiences of dizziness and balance, headaches, and difficulties with auditory processing and vision. Just over half the participants (56.7%) experienced a single mTBI. The median time interval since the injury was 16 months (IQR = 24 months). Participants usually reported multiple dizzy symptoms which developed within a week of the injury, although delays of up to six months were reported. Most participants (70%) felt their symptoms improved over time, while lack of improvement was associated with a history of multiple mTBI (<i>P</i> = 0.020). Moderate to strong correlations between questionnaire scores representing dizziness handicap, visual vertigo severity, and auditory processing difficulties (<i>P</i> < 0.001) suggest that dizziness and sensory impairment following mTBI are multi-modal and likely to benefit from holistic, multidisciplinary treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"55 3","pages":"451-465"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11841173/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143485470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
