ED Drugs - Side Effects

I recently ran across an article that addressed a question about the possibility of hearing and vision loss from the use of erectile dysfunction medications. Apparently, there have been a few instances of men experiencing a sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing - typically in one eye or in one ear - after taking one of these drugs. However, these incidents have been so rare that a direct link hasn't been established.

With vision loss, virtually all known cases have occurred in men who had cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure or diabetes. The article concluded that the potential risk of hearing or vision loss is so small that most men don't need to avoid these drugs. However, if you've experienced sudden hearing or vision loss - whether it seemed to coincide with taking an ED drug or not - it's probably best to talk to your doctor about other options for treating erectile dysfunction.
