Apparently all that blood rushing to one place can be deafening.
According to researchers at the University of Alabama use of Viagra and other medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE-5i) such as Cialis and Levitra may be associated with hearing loss.
Researchers examined data on 11,525 men over the age of 40 who were surveyed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. They found men who use these types of medicines are twice as likely to report hearing loss.

What?
What?
Who?
Not a concern to me personally.
Where do I sign up?
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Lots of sex and I don’t have to listen to her? Where can I get some of this stuff?
And I thought you stood a greater chance of going blind! Silly me!!!
Blindness I could understand. Never heard of losing one’s hearing, though....
.. . . and it causes lawyers to get taller.
Makes it where you can’t hear the wife saying: “no, no, NO!” ;-)
Shades of - “if yo do it you will go blind” to which the reply is - “Can I do it till I need glasses” - Sort of makes the question, “Can I use it till I need a hearing aid”
Beat me by four seconds! Uh, um, let me rephrase that....
They make it sound like this result is a bad thing.
Mr. Gun can even hear my thoughts...but only about sex.
From what? All the old screamers?? lol
Impair your hearing? Where are you putting that thing?
My sympathies to those who can’t see, can’t pee, can’t hear and can’t ****.
Hmm...the number one cause of hearing loss in elderly men is the Off button in their hearing aids. Or so I, uh, hear.
Never used it but I’d sure as heck rather go deaf from Viagra use than whatever is causing my lousy hearing now. :-)
best reply yet
The use of these drugs and hearing loss probably occur at the same time. I spent a life of Marshall Stacks and 40 Watt Fender amps as well as on the firing range and is no wonder my hearing is still moderately intact. I am skeptical about the results with so many variables involved.
Beautiful.
Now you don’t even have to hear what she’s saying anymore.
LOOK AT ME WHEN I AM TALKING TO YOU! (8[
Huh? ...I thought you said NOW !!!
Just don’t wash down your Viagra with prune juice. You won’t know if you are coming or going.

Yep. I went deaf in my left ear the night after partaking...
No other cause has been identified. Actually, it was worse than deafness... I couldn’t walk for 2 weeks as it killed my vestibular system in that ear as well. Imagine being in a constant state of vertigo for weeks. I almost shot myself.
Sweet! Buy stock in hearing-aid companies.
An elderly gentleman...
Had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%
The elderly went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, ‘Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.’
The gentleman replied, ‘Oh, I haven’t told my family yet.
I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve changed my will three times!’
Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, ‘Windy, isn’t it?’
Second one says, ‘No, it’s Thursday!’
Third one says, ‘So am I. Let’s go get a beer.’
A man was telling his neighbour, ‘I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it’s state of the art. It’s perfect.’
‘Really,’ answered the neighbour . ‘What kind is it?’
‘Twelve thirty.’
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, ‘You’re really doing great, aren’t you?’
Morris replied, ‘Just doing what you said, Doc: ‘Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.’’
The doctor said, ‘I didn’t say that. I said, ‘You’ve got a heart murmur; be careful.’
“I’m not quite sure what the adverse affects are that they’re alluding to.
In the jargon of economists, hearing loss in some situations may well be a “positive externality.” If so, the appropriate role of government would be to subsidize the purchase of Viagra to ensure an optimal level of use.
Viagra is hard on the system.
>Those four-hour erections exact a heavy toll!<
They make sure you don’t roll out of bed.
Maybe because you grow hair in your ears rather than your palms.
Try 13+ years of vertigo, which I’ll have for the rest of my life thanks to permanent labyrinthitis. 2 weeks is nothing.
Yeah, so we don’t need to turn up the volume on the
tv, big deal....lol
"Okay," said the hooker, "I guess I understand the condom. But what's with the cotton in the nose and ears?"
"Listen, baby," replied the geezer. "There are two things I can't stand. One is the sound of a young woman screaming her head off in ecstasy. And the other is the smell of rubber burning!"
Since I am already deaf, I guess I’m safe.
Dude...you think like me!
That’s awful....
Eh ??? SPEAK UP !!!
So, in other words, I can have sex with my wife and not have to listen to her afterward?
Is there something wrong with that?
