Concussions Can Affect Hearing

A concussion is more than just a head injury. It can also affect your hearing in ways many people don’t expect. Symptoms such as ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus), difficulty hearing, sensitivity to everyday sounds, or a feeling of pressure or fullness in the ears may develop after a concussion. These changes can occur when the impact affects the inner ear, auditory nerve, or the brain’s ability to process sound. If you experience any hearing changes following a concussion, see your family physician promptly and arrange a comprehensive hearing assessment. Early evaluation can help identify concerns and support your recovery.

Laser Therapy for Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is generally caused by progressive wear and tear on our joints that results in the breakdown of our joint cartilage. When cartilage breaks down, the bones start to grind against each other, creating inflammation in the joint. These changes are what cause you to experience painful symptoms. The degenerative process itself may not be painful, however the resulting inflammation and irritation to surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons usually cause you to experience uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating symptoms. Cold laser therapy offers an innovative treatment for a variety of acute and chronic, often painful, conditions like osteoarthritis.

Living Well at Every Age

Seniors centres play a vital role in supporting healthy, active aging. Through fitness classes, social gatherings, educational workshops, and creative programs, they offer opportunities to stay physically strong and mentally engaged. Just as important, these spaces foster friendship and belonging, helping reduce isolation and build community. Participation encourages routine, confidence, and independence while connecting older adults with valuable local resources. A seniors centre is more than a place to visit — it’s a hub for living well at every age. [email protected]

Healthy Living, Right at Home

As fall arrives, seniors may be thinking about how their home and community support a healthy, active lifestyle. For those considering a condo or a move to a smaller home, location and accessibility can make everyday living easier and more enjoyable. Being close to parks, walking paths, shopping, healthcare, recreation, and community activities can encourage connection and independence. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or simply make a change, finding the right home can support your health and wellness for years to come.

Indoor Air Pollution

Indoor air pollution in homes can lead to respiratory problems and other health issues. It can occur from many sources such as volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), mold, cleaning products, and pet dander. To mitigate indoor air pollution, prioritize ventilation with open windows and air purifiers, control humidity, use low-VOC products, clean and vacuum regularly, install carbon monoxide detectors, maintain and clean your furnace and replace the filter regularly. According to the EPA, the concentration levels of many volatile organic compounds are up to 10 times higher indoors than outdoors so it is very important to maintain ventilation flow in your home.
