A new potential side effect may make it difficult to even talk to your doctor about Viagra.

HealthDay reports on a study that supports a link between hearing problems and erectile dysfunction drugs. That includes not just Viagra, but Cialis, Levitra and other phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.

The research was revealed on the same day that WebMD reported on a drug that may be the future ‘Female Viagra.’ Flibanserin is being touted as a potential aid for females suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
