ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to provide an ear type clinical thermometer in which the main body can be held according to the position of the eardrum of the person whose temperature is being measured. There is provided an ear type clinical thermometer comprising: a main body to be held by hand at a time when an eardrum temperature is to be measured; and a probe fixed to the main body while protruding from the main body and to be inserted into an external auditory canal of a person whose eardrum temperature is to be measured at the time when the measurement is to be taken. The main body has a side at which the probe protrudes from the main body and a side opposite to this side, and the side opposite to the side at which the probe protrudes from the main body is constructed of a curved surface having a substantially constant curvature along a direction perpendicular to a reference plane containing the center axis of the probe. Further, the main body has an indicator for allowing a user to recognize a plurality of methods of holding the main body which differ according to directions in which the probe is to be inserted into the external auditory canal of the person whose temperature is to be measured.
