  • Page 17: Body Temperature

    About Ear Temperature Body temperature The body temperature refers to the core temperature. This core body temperature can be obtained quickly and accurately by measuring the temperature of the eardrum, because it is believed that the temperature of the eardrum constantly and accurately reflects changes in temperature of the thermoregulatory center, or hypothalamus, in the brain.
  • Page 18 Why can the temperature be measured in the ear Every object emits infrared energy that corresponds to its temperature. Therefore, the temperature of an object can be obtained by measuring the amount of the infrared energy. The ear thermometer employs this theory and detects the radiated heat out of the eardrum using an infrared sensor.

  • Page 19: Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions Q.The reading is different each time I measure my temperature. Why is that? A. The following may be the cause: You insert the probe into the ear in a different way (direction, depth or different ear) each time. The probe tip is not clean.
