Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Temperature
1. What is body temperature?
Body temperature means interior or core temperature of the human body which is controlled by the
hypothalamus in the brain. The eardrum has a blood vessel in it whose temperature accurately reflects core
body temperature.
2. How is the ear thermometer properly used?
* For children aged one year or less, pull the ear in an inclined backward direction. This position straightens
the auditory canal and allows for accurate measurement.
* For adults and children above the age of one year, pull the ear in a backward direction to straighten the
auditory canal before inserting the temperature probe for measurement.
3. What is a normal temperature range?
Users’ body temperature may vary with age, time and ambient temperature. Typically ear temperature is higher
than temperature measured under the arm. The graph below provides the normal distribution for body
temperature measured under the arm and in the ear.
