Abstract

Purpose of the study: Temperature of the tympanic membrane correlates well with brain and oesophageal temperature independent from environmental temperature. However, because customary thermistor or thermocouple sensors are designed for placement in the ear canal distant from the tympanic membrane, the influence of ambient temperature on recorded measurements in the field cannot be excluded. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of low ambient temperature on measurements in the ear canal using a customary thermistor sensor.
