EAR PLUG TYPE INDIVIDUAL HEAT ILLNESS ALARMING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a device usable by anyone regardless of the presence/absence of protective clothing and regardless of a work environment, to miniaturize and lighten the device, to prevent various kinds of work from being obstructed by eliminating or minimizing the layout of signal lines, to directly issue an alarm to a user individual and to use the device alone. SOLUTION: The heat illness alarming device alarms the risk of developing a heat illness to the user individual by monitoring at least the change of the deep body temperature of the user. An ear plug part 10 to be inserted to an ear canal and a body case 12 positioned facing a pinna are integrated and form an appearance shape that can be held by the ear canal and pinna of the user. An eardrum temperature sensor for measuring the deep body temperature is incorporated in the ear plug part. In the body case, an apparatus for evaluating heat strain on the basis of deep body temperature information from the eardrum temperature sensor and issuing the alarm of the heat illness corresponding to the evaluation is incorporated.
