Common causes of hearing loss:

Common causes include aging, exposure to loud noise, sudden loud sounds, earwax buildup, infections, certain medical conditions, and some medications.

To help prevent hearing loss:
• Protect your ears in loud environments and keep headphones at a safe volume.
• Take breaks from noise and avoid putting objects into your ears.
• Treat ear infections early and manage chronic health conditions.
• Get regular hearing checks, especially if you're often around loud noise or over 50.

This is general information only. If you notice sudden changes in hearing, pain, ringing, or dizziness, please speak with a healthcare professional for proper assessment and guidance.

Scarborough Village Medical Center – Mindful Mondays 🌿

Start your week with intention and care. Mondays can feel overwhelming, but even a few mindful moments can make a big difference in how your day unfolds.

Take a pause before jumping into your to-do list. Try a few deep breaths, a quiet stretch, or a short walk outside. Let the fresh air and movement reset your thoughts and bring clarity to your mind.

💧 Mindful breaks aren’t just calming — they help improve focus, reduce stress, and support your overall well-being. Whether it’s sipping water slowly, journaling for five minutes, or simply sitting in silence, these small acts of self-care add up.

☀️ A clear mind supports a healthy body.
Start your week strong — one breath, one step, one mindful moment at a time. You deserve it.

✈️ Holiday Travel Health Tips from Scarborough Village Medical Center

Travelling this season? A few simple habits can help keep you and your family healthy and comfortable on the go.

✅ Before You Travel
• Consider a check‑up if you have chronic conditions, take regular medications, are pregnant, or are travelling with young children or seniors.
• Pack a list of medications, allergies, and medical conditions, plus prescriptions, basic over‑the‑counter medicines, and a small first‑aid kit.

✅ Vaccines & Prevention
• Make sure your routine vaccines and seasonal flu shot are up to date.
• Ask your clinician if you need any travel‑specific vaccines.
• Keep hands clean by washing often and carrying alcohol‑based sanitizer, especially in busy airports and stations.

✅ Smart Habits in Transit
• Drink water regularly to stay hydrated.
• Limit excess caffeine and alcohol, which can worsen dehydration and jet lag.
• Stretch or walk during long flights or drives to support circulation and reduce stiffness.

✅ Food, Water & Rest
• Choose well‑cooked, hot foods and safe drinking water when travelling abroad.
• Try to maintain regular sleep and take short breaks during busy travel days to support your immune system.

✅ When to Seek Care
• Get medical attention if you experience high fever, chest pain, severe shortness of breath, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, or worsening symptoms of an existing condition.
• If you feel unwell after returning home, reach out to Scarborough Village Medical Center for follow‑up care.

Stay safe, stay healthy, and enjoy your holiday travels!

👶🩺 When to Call Your Doctor for Your Child 💙

Flu season and winter bugs can be tough on little ones. Here are important times to reach out to your doctor:

• 🌡️ Fever lasting 72 hours or longer
• 🌡️ Fever that went away (without medication) but returned after a day or more
• 😣 Unusual irritability or fussiness that doesn’t improve after treating fever
• 👂 Earache lasting more than 48 hours
• 🥤 Not eating or drinking — liquids are most important, and fewer wet diapers may signal dehydration
• 💚 Special needs that make caring for your child more difficult

Your child’s health and comfort matter most. If you notice these signs, don’t wait — call your doctor or visit our Walk‑In Clinic for timely care.
