The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has rapidly spread worldwide. Public health authorities have recommended limiting non-essential healthcare, in search of a balance between the risk of delaying treatment and the potential exposure to the virus. Most services in the audiology and otoneurology areas can easily exceed 45 minutes and it is not possible to keep the recommended physical distancing. Both factors increase the risk of professionals being infected. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to describe the current evidence about recommendations in audiology and otoneurology care in the context of COVID-19. In addition to the search of scientific articles in various databases, recommendations issued by the main associations in the area were consulted. The information was gathered considering four relevant clinical aspects: health care services, procedures, personal protective equipment and the cleaning of equipment and supplies. Scientific evidence and suggestions made by associations are being constantly updated, and therefore there is limited content on some topics. However, the recommendations agree on prioritizing remote health care, increasing the use of personal protective equipment, implementing protocols for hand hygiene and for the cleaning of equipment and supplies. The incorporation communication strategies other than oral language to interact with people with hearing loss to facilitate speech discrimination is also recommended.
