Can Viagra Make You Deaf?
Can Viagra make you deaf? This item from Newser also gets our award for lede of the day:
Could Viagra make you, ahem, hard of hearing? Researchers are uncovering evidence that it and other anti-impotence drugs may do just that. The FDA has been warning about possible hearing complications associated with anti-impotence medicine since 2007, but two new reports are raising concerns. UK researchers who surveyed drug watchdogs around the world uncovered 47 cases of sudden hearing loss linked to Viagra and related drugs. Another 223 possible reports from the United States had to be excluded because of lack of details, reports the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, Reuters reports that a new US study finds that taking Viagra could double one’s chance of experiencing hearing loss.
Will this cause men to stop using Viagra? I suspect many of them will want to stick it out for a while.
But if there are a rash of reports of women signing to their lovers “Get me a cigarette” you’ll know why.

Post of the day and probably the week, Shannon!
At the age most men require sildenafil citrate, not being able to hear their bed partner is not necessarily considered a bad thing
If this is true, Rush Limpbaugh did a double whammy on his hearing…
You beat me to it Shannon.

Speak up please, I couldn’t quite hear you.
Ah, the advantage of a European time zone… you get a 5 hour head start on thinking of something funny to write
It’s nice to hear some humor even five hours later. Our side of the pond seems to all sour grapes.
