A scoping review of ear and hearing health research in Aotearoa New Zealand: a focus on equity.

A recommendation from a series of Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) ear and hearing health hui was to summarise literature in ear, hearing, and vestibular health to inform future strategic directions. 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.
