ear thermometer
Canal temperature reader
An ear thermometer measures body temperature by detecting infrared heat from the eardrum.
The reading is fast—usually a second or two—making these devices popular for use with children.
Also called a tympanic thermometer.
The ear thermometer beeped and showed 101.2.
