Take note of the “normal temperatures” in the ear of all family members as a reference for future use.
What is ear temperature?
Body temperature differs by the place it is measured (in the ear, in the mouth, or under the arm). A
study conducted by OMRON indicates that many people show higher temperature in the ear.
Exceptions: some people show lower temperature when measured in the ear, and for some people the
temperature difference between the ear and the arm is more than 1°C (1.8°F).
Please understand the normal temperature differences between the one measured in the
ear and the one under the arm and use as a guide for temperature reading of a suspected
fever.
In order to make a correct judgement on the fever condition, it is important to learn the normal
temperatures of family members by measuring their temperatures when they are in good physical
conditions.
