Temperature taking hints
A temperature measurement taken in the right ear
may differ from a measurement taken in the left
ear. Therefore, always take the temperature in the
same ear.
The ear must be free from obstructions or excess
cerumen build-up in order to take an accurate
measurement.
External factors may influence ear temperatures,
particularly when an individual has:
been lying on one ear or the other
had their ears covered
been exposed to very hot or very cold temper-
atures, or
– been recently swimming or bathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the
situation and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a
temperature.
For persons wearing hearing aids or ear plugs,
remove the device and wait 20 minutes prior to
taking a temperature.
Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other ear
medications have been placed in the ear canal.
