Could Viagra Cause Hearing Loss?
LatestA new study suggests that Viagra could increase the risk of hearing loss, potentially creating a dilemma for men with erectile dysfunction. As if they didn’t have enough to deal with.
According to Reuters, studied men over 40 who were taking Viagra or related erectile dysfunction drugs. They found that these men were twice as likely to experience loss of hearing as those who weren’t on the medications. Dr. James E. Saunders, an ear doctor not involved in the study, told Reuters, “Before the current paper the focus has always been on sudden hearing loss. This study suggests that maybe there are small incremental changes that occur over time.”
