“A young Chinese woman was left partially deaf following a passionate kiss from her boyfriend.
The 20-something from Zhuhai in Guangdong province arrived at hospital having completely lost the hearing in her left ear, said local reports.
The incident prompted a series of articles in the local media warning of the dangers of excessive kissing.
‘While kissing is normally very safe, doctors advise people to proceed with caution,’ wrote the China Daily.
The doctor who treated the girl in hospital was quoted in the paper explaining what had happened.
‘The kiss reduced the pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear.’
The chorus of warnings was echoed by the Shanghai Daily, which wrote: ‘A strong kiss may cause an imbalance in the air pressure between two inner ears and lead to a broken ear drum.’”

I think China should be forced to say “Suck face” instead from now on…
They’re doing it wrong.
That’s 18 months old if you’d care to look at the date on the article. Creepy nonetheless.
Sounds like mega-bullshit to me. Probably the girl already had eardrum problem.
yep, sounds like bs to me.
“hell, i kissed her eardrum away. SCORE!”
why not? lotsa people lose their brains after a kiss!
Was she blowing a vacuum cleaner?
interesting, i’d be curious to know the chinese doctor’s explanation as to why my 16 yr old cousin makes claims of sometimes going blind
Ehehehe ….. I wonder how many I made partially deaf … Good that they can not trace it back to me ever. Who would believe it?!
Burned skin of nose and such … that I’d believe ..
