What Your Readings Mean
The inner ear thermometer measures the temperature of the energy radiating from the ear drum. Offing accuracy at measuring core temperature of the whole body. This is because the core body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus in the base of the brain, which shares the same blood supply as the ear drum.
Understanding your temperature readings is essential to maintaining good health. Here’s what the different temperature ranges can indicate:

Follow this step-by-step guide on how to use our inner ear thermometers:
- Ensure a fresh, clean probe cover is securely attached to the thermometer tip.
- Gently pull the ear up and back to straighten the ear canal.
- Place the thermometer tip into the ear canal, pointing it towards the ear drum. Don’t force it.
- Press and release the measurement button.
