Viagra may make some things go up but it makes your hearing go down

The FDA has come out and stated that users of impotence drugs such as Viagra may suffer sudden hearing loss.
They stated that due to 29 reports of sudden hearing loss problems stemming from the drug Viagra and similar drugs, they are adding a warning about this side effect.
Impotence drugs such as Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and others will now all have the warnings right on the packaging.
Dr. Robert Boucher of the FDA stated that “We don’t know enough to say that it’s ironclad caused by the drugs, but we see enough to say we can’t ignore it either.”
The FDA has yet to figure out why exactly the drugs cause the sudden loss in hearing. 29 reports stated that the hearing loss took place within hours to two days after taking one of the drugs.
The FDA is urging patients who experience hearing problems to stop taking the impotence drugs and contact your doctor.
