An instrument that measures temperaature in the ear.
The tympanic thermometer measures the patient's temperature by measuring the infrared waves produced by the tympanic membrane and records the temperature in less than 2 to 3 seconds on a digital screen. The tympanic membrane and the hypothalamus of the brain share the same blood supply, so an accurate measurement of the body temperature can be obtained.

The tympanic thermometer is inserted into the outer ear canal.
Different thermometers make use of different physical properties, that change with temperature - for example, volume, electrical resistance, and others. The basic household thermometer simply has a liquid - previously mercury, nowadays usually colored alcohol - that expands when it is heated.
Temperature measured with the ear thermometer (tympanic membrane thermoemeter)
An infrared tympanic thermometer measures the heat emitted by the eardrum to determine body temperature. This type of thermometer is commonly used in medical settings for quick and accurate temperature readings.
A tympanic thermometer is used to measure body temperature by placing it in the ear canal. It is commonly used in medical settings, such as hospitals and clinics, as well as at home for quick and accurate temperature readings.
not sure
To take an aural temperature using a tympanic thermometer, gently insert the thermometer into the ear canal, aiming towards the eardrum. Press the button to initiate the temperature reading, and ensure a good fit for accurate results.
An inaccurate tympanic temperature reading can be caused by an improper placement of the thermometer in the ear canal, earwax buildup, an ear infection, cold temperatures affecting the ear canal, or not allowing enough time for the thermometer to equilibrate to the ear temperature.
Temperature of a human can be measured using a thermometer. Common methods include oral (mouth), rectal (rectum), axillary (armpit), tympanic (ear), and temporal (forehead) measurements. Oral and tympanic measurements are the most common and convenient methods for adults.
An ear thermometer is commonly referred to as a tympanic thermometer.
