Ear (Tympanic) Thermometers For Quick Accurate Reading

Ear thermometers, also known as tympanic thermometers, are medical devices designed to measure body temperature by detecting infrared radiation emitted from the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and surrounding tissues. Since the eardrum shares blood supply with the hypothalamus—the part of the brain that regulates body temperature—ear thermometers provide an accurate reflection of core body temperature.
