An ear-type thermometer which measures body temperature using a temperature detection element 21 that detects ambient temperature and an infrared detection element 22 that detects infrared radiation from a measurement site within the aural cavity, the 2 elements housed in a probe 3, wherein the ear-type thermometer comprises a probe cover 10 which can be detachably provided with the probe, a detection switch 60 which detects that the probe cover is attached or detached to the probe, and two temperature conversion coefficients 52a and 52b which corrects body temperature based on the detection result from the two detection elements. Further, the thermometer comprises a detection switch 60 which detects that the probe cover is attached or detached to and from the probe, a temperature conversion coefficient 52a which corrects body temperature based on detection results from the two detection elements, a control unit 50 which determines whether the probe cover has exceeded the usage count limit or not using an actual usage count, a speaker 12 or a liquid crystal display unit which alerts need to replace the probe cover when the usage count limit has been exceeded.
