I have for some time been thinking a thermometer for the ear to create. My little daughter is always a drama when I measure your temperature with a thermometer ordinary. And when it comes your not good, I would not additionally burden. In contrast, she loves it when I make your ears clean :) and because our family doctor used an ear thermometer seemed to me as a device ideal. However, I have doubts because I was not sure exactly how the thermometer measures and because the cost of a good device are high compared to an ordinary thermometer. To my delight, my daughter has 5 get the Braun ThermoScan of Grandma and Grandpa for his birthday. I am very happy, because the measurement is very easy and fast. So the temperature measurement takes place completely hassle free and I can also often a day to check the temperature. Even though I several times in direct succession fever fair, the unit displays the same temperature, so I have confidence that the device reliably measures. I think it's also very convenient that the device with normal AA batteries operated, we have always in the house when the batteries should be empty times. The Braun ThermoScan is an enrichment for our family.
