Some studies show a small chance of sudden hearing loss when taking Viagra for ED. It’s important for men who take Viagra and other ED drugs to understand these studies in context so they understand their own risk better.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Could Viagra for ED cause you to lose your hearing?<\/p>\n

The answer is that it’s unlikely as long as you stick with the lowest effective dose. Some cases of hearing loss have been reported with PDE-5 inhibitors. Typically, they occur in patients who take higher doses for longer time periods. As to potential causes, researchers are just now trying to figure it out. For safety, men should only take ED drugs as prescribed and use the lowest effective dosage. Here\u2019s what you need to know about hearing loss, ED, and Viagra.<\/p>\n

Risks of Viagra for ED<\/h3>\n

Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors including sildenafil or Viagra are tied to a small increase in risk for sudden hearing loss. Researchers recently studied<\/a> more than 377,000 men who had taken Viagra for ED and found that for every 10,000 people, approximately 2 developed some hearing difficulties. As statistics go, this is a very small risk, which can easily be mitigated by taking the lowest possible effective dose of Viagra for your ED. Another study confirmed those findings<\/a>, determining that less than 2 per 10,000 illustrated the risk.
\nWith that said, researchers have not ruled out other ties<\/a> to sudden hearing loss and Viagra for ED, including the use of medications and the patient\u2019s age. However, the FDA has increased the label warning for Viagra on hearing loss.<\/p>\n

Sudden hearing loss is rare but could occur in a small percentage of men taking Viagra for erectile dysfunction<\/a>. Always follow your doctor\u2019s instructions for use of Viagra for ED.
