measurement may differ from the measurement taken in the left ear. Therefore, ALWAYS take the
temperature in the same ear. The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax build-up to
take an accurate reading.
External factors may influence ear temperatures, including when an individual has:
Factor
Poor probe placement
Used lens filter
Dirty lens
In the cases below, wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
Extreme hot or cold room temperature
Hearing aid
Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear canal.
Use the ear that has been facing upwards, if an individual has been lying down on their side.
