What is normal ear temperatute?

Normal ear temperature typically ranges from 97.6°F to 99.5°F (36.4°C to 37.5°C) when measured using a tympanic thermometer. This method assesses the infrared heat emitted by the eardrum, which reflects the body's core temperature. Variations can occur due to factors like time of day, activity level, and individual differences. It's important to compare readings with established norms to determine if a fever or other concerns are present.
