Woman loses hearing in sloppy kiss
A woman has lost her hearing after a passionate pucker from her boyfriend ruptured her eardrum.
The Chinese woman in her 20s completely lost the hearing in her left ear after what has been dubbed the "kiss of deaf."
Doctors in the Guangdong province of China say the kiss reduced the pressure in the mouth, and pulled the eardrum out of place.
It is thought it will take about two months for her hearing to recover ... and that the "Chinese kiss' is not likely to rival a 'French kiss' anytime soon.
Her boyfriend is also considering visiting the hospital to ask how long the taste of earwax will last.
After the incident local newspapers in the region published kissing safety advice.
