SAN FRANCISCO (Politically Illustrated) – Pop those pills, pump all night! Those little blue pills may have some unintended side-effects in older men.

Namely the inability to hear after consuming them.

According to a new study, researchers found rapid hearing loss is linked to Viagra.

“There is increasing evidence that PDE-5 inhibitors may induce sensorineural hearing loss via plausible physiological mechanisms. There needs to be more awareness of this disabling side effect among health care professionals responsible for prescribing this drug,” concluded the report, published in The Laryngoscope.

The average age of those affected was 57.

The company responsible for producing the drug maintains that any reaction to the drug does not mean the drug is causing hearing loss in all men.

“Hey, it’s a two for one,” Steve Myers, a resident of San Francisco, told Politically Illustrated. “I pop the pill and I don’t have to listen to her bitch about the garbage.”
