Introduction: The Coronavirus pandemic brought about the need for social distancing. Based on this new reality, the Brazilian Federal Council of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (CFFa) recommended the use of telephonoaudiology to enable the continuity of speech therapy assistance. Although this is not an unprecedented practice, doubts about telephonoaudiology use and its effectiveness, when compared to face-to-face care, still permeate the clinical practice. Objective: to perform an integrative review of the literature on the effectiveness of telephonoaudiology technologies when compared to face to face care. Methods: an integrative review of the scientific literature was carried out, without the restriction of language and time, in the databases: Pubmed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Cochrane, and Google Scholar. Results: twenty-one articles were selected. The unanimity of the papers demonstrated that there was no statistically significant difference between the configurations. In studies focused on evaluation, the test methods (face to face vs. telephonoaudiology) were highly correlated and presented high inter-examiner reliability. In papers focusing on therapy, in both treatment configurations, there was a significant improvement in the parameters evaluated. In almost all the papers that conducted telephonoaudiology satisfaction surveys, patients and/or guardians reported moderate to high satisfaction and indicated a willingness to participate again in assessment and/or therapy in the configuration of remote care. Conclusion: the current literature on telephonoaudiology suggests the use of remote care and demonstrates its non-inferiority when compared to face to face care. However, most of these studies have low scientific evidence.
