description In response to the Covid 19 pandemic many governments and professional bodies recommended cancellation of elective surgeries including cochlear implantation. Resumption of elective surgeries was recommended after appropriate permissions were given by the authorities and the hospital had adequate infrastructure in terms of equipment and manpower to start elective surgeries without compromising on patient safety and care. We began cochlear implant surgeries in April 2020. We have done 5 cochlear implants surgeries till date. This manuscript discusses the changes that we did in our preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative protocol.
