The measurement in the ear and on the forehead can produce different results as the forehead
temperature depends more on external influences than the temperature in the eardrum.
The forehead measurement depends on external influence more than rectal, oral or axillary
measurements.
In case of several measurements after each other, slightly varying results are measured within the
range of the measuring error tolerance as a rule.
