From the American Academy of Audiology, Dr. Catherine Palmer: Posting on behalf of Catherine Palmer, PhD, Academy President Many health systems are screening patients before they enter the facility and these screenings often include a temperature screening. ... This may be conducted with a forehead device or an ear temperature screener. For patients with any style of in-the-ear hearing aids or BTEs with occluding earmolds they may find that a temperature reading right when they remove their hearing aids will be high. A study by Mogensen et al (2018) suggests leaving the hearing aid/earmold out for at least 5 minutes in order to get an accurate temperature screening. This information may help patients prepare for entering health centers (removing their hearing aids and waiting 5 minutes before screening) and will be valuable to directors of these screening programs so screeners will know to wait a few minutes before the screening to avoid false positives. It is disconcerting to have a high temperature reading when you are trying to access health care and this may result in you being sent away so this information may help our patients avoid unneeded stress.
