PLAYBOY chief HUGH HEFNER has gone deaf from taking too much Viagra, say two 21-year-old twins who used to be his lovers.
But blondes KARISSA and KRISTINA SHANNON say the legendary 85-year-old womaniser will not stop because he does not want to lose his sex drive.
Karissa said: "He said he would rather have sex than have his hearing. He has hearing aids now and even then he can only hear out of one ear.
"You have to lean down and talk into his good ear for him to understand you.
"We could sit right next to him and he wouldn't have a clue what we said."
A US study last year warned that men who took libido-boosting Viagra were twice as likely to get hearing loss.
Sun Doctor Carol Cooper said: "It's to do with the effect on the nerves."
The twins, who lived in Hef's LA mansion for two years, say he is also losing his memory. Karissa said: "He kept forgetting our dog's name."
On Tuesday, Hefner's fiancee Crystal Harris, 25, called off their wedding - saying she would not share him with other women. Karissa and Kristina, who moved in with Hef at 18, are said to be considering a return to his home.
I would assume that Hefner is taking quite a lot of Viagra. I will see if I can find the quoted study to see if this problem is dose related.
