Temperature-taking hints
Always replace disposable lens filters to maintain accuracy and hygiene. The right ear
measurement may differ from the measurement taken in the left ear. Therefore, always take the
temperature in the same ear. The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax build-up to
take an accurate reading.
External factors may influence ear temperatures, including when an individual has:
