Summary: Took Getting Used to, but Great!
Comment: It reads a little low, so I keep that in mind when using it. It is consistent, so I know that my son usually reads 96 degrees so when he is up around 99 or so on this one, I just do a rectal. I would much rather have the ear indicator than do the rectal thermometer frequently! It's saved lots of hassle. It does require the covers, but if I don't mind using the same ones over for the same kid. . .no biggie if you can't get to the store. Someone complained about a battery problem. My son is two and we've never had to replace the batteries. Maybe theirs was defective. I would recommend this product, but with any thermometer, you just have to get used to how it reads and adjust your actions accordingly. My son also thinks its great fun to listen for the beep :)

Summary: Too big for my baby's ear canal
Comment: This product is great for an adult ear, but does not fit in the ear canal of my 19 month old daughter.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Ok, but looking for something more accurate than this.
Comment: I debated between this thermometer and the Exergen Temporal one. I bought this one since I thought it would be easier to use. However, the probe is too large for my baby's ear and hard to get her to let me put it in too. I also got inconsistent reading after taking multiple temperatures within second of eachother in the same ear. I end up using this thermometer as just taking an approximate temperature.
In the end, I think a swipe across the forehead might be easier. I'm going to return this thermometer and try the temporal kind.
This one is just not easy to use, nor accurate.

Summary: Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer
Comment: My old Braun Thermoscan ear thermometer finally wore out which is the reason i replaced it, Very good product.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hate it!
Comment: My Braun thermoscan has given me nothing but trouble.
Yes this ear thermometer is easy to use. You just have to stick it into the canal correctly. Not hard. What I don't like is you can stick it in the same ear, the same way, 6 different times and get very different readings.
Everytime I have gone to use my thermometer, the battery would be dead. You have to use the special medical circular batteries, so of course I would never have any handy. Then I got smart and started stocking up on the batteries. They are expensive. And everytime I would use it I'd have to put in a fresh new battery.
This also needs the disposable ear covers in order for it to work. Yes there is a trick to getting around it but then your thermometer isn't sanitary. Finding the covers was sometimes easy and sometimes impossible.
I have just never been happy with it. Yes it's easier than the oral... But I found one even better. Try the Temporal Artery Thermometer. You can use that one on a sleeping child!
