Frequently Asked Questions

  • Always use a new, genuine Braun lens filter to maintain accuracy and hygiene.
  • Take the temperature in the same ear each time, as readings may vary between ears.
  • Ensure the ear is free from wax build-up or obstructions before measuring.
  • Avoid taking a reading immediately after exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures—wait at least 20 minutes.
  • If using ear drops or medication in one ear, take the reading in the untreated ear.
