Ear Thermometer Advantages
The Infrared Ear Thermometer measures core body temperature,
which is the temperature of a body's vital organs. (See Figure 1)
Ear temperatures accurately reflect core body temperatures because
the eardrum is in the cranial cavity and is not affected by the external
environment. The eardrum shares blood supply with the hypothala-
mus (part of the brain.) and therefore body temperature changes are
reflected sooner in the ear than they are in other parts of the body.
