multiply the degree in C by 1.8 then add 32. this will give u the temperature in F.
F = (C*1.8) +32
tympanic, or reading from the ear, is not the best way to check a temperature especially in young children and babies. The best way is rectal or under the arm. But to answer your question, in a child, you want to pull the ear lobe gently down and out. In and adult you want to pull the top of the ear up and back. This opens the ear canal and allows for the thermometer to get an accurate reading.
There is an ear thermometer?
An ear thermometer should be placed carefully in an ear to measure the temperature. The temperature is then taken by an infrared mechanism in the thermometer.

I purchased it from the Amazon and believe me this is one of the best thermometer for ear.
You put the thermometer in what you want to get the temperature from. If you want to measure body temperature, the rectum would be the best way to get an accurate reading with an old school thermometer. There are however new thermometers which are as effective in an ear.
The tympanic thermometer is inserted into the outer ear canal.

he made the ear thermometer
For a Meijer K1-8120 from Bestmed. Turn on the thermometer... when display pops up, press the button again. The units should now be in Fahrenheit . Hope this helps.
Three ways of taking a vital temperature are using a digital thermometer orally, using a tympanic thermometer in the ear, or using a temporal artery thermometer on the forehead.
