From the BBC this morning:


Chinese girl gets 'kiss of deaf'
Chinese couple share a kiss
Couples are advised to "proceed with caution"

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."

The young woman is expected to regain her full hearing within about two months.

Now I've had to grab a man or two by the face and stop their attempts at kissing... but typically that's because they looked like something hungry from a sci fi flick... but really now, how exactly was that man doing it?

"The kiss reduced the pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear."

What the... was he trying to blow her up or kiss her?
I mean if it was a matter of habit, that's one thing.

Well, my only problem with this is in that a reduction of pressure would draw the eardrum IN, not out.
The middle ear bones lay directly behind the drum. This means the drum had to be blown out by a build up of force in the mouth(like blowing a trumpet).
If the ear drum were to be sucked into the ear canal, not only would the membrane be torn from the channel, but the bones would be dislodged as well. That would not be temporary damage.
*hmmm... translation differences?

If they were horsing around & kissing too hard, it wouldn't seem to bizarre, but the damage described is completely loony. I mean, who blows up their date once they talk back?
