What is an aural temperature?
The tympanic thermometer measures the patient's temperature by measuring the infrared waves produced by the tympanic membrane and records the temperature in less than 2 to 3 seconds on a digital screen. The tympanic membrane and the hypothalamus of the brain share the same blood supply, so an accurate measurement of the body temperature can be obtained.
