Viagra causes hearing loss?

This is certainly not what one would expect, but yet they are telling us that men who take Viagra could be at an increased risk for long-term hearing loss. Apparently current government warnings regarding hearing loss from Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra is in order. Read the article here.

While the study used more than 11,500 males, the facts of the study does not point to a direct cause-effect link and more studies are being asked for. This seems to happen every time a poorly designed study points out something that was not in the original intent of the study. Apparently, if you have taken the drugs, you are twice as likely to report hearing loss.
