A passionate kiss ruptured a young woman's eardrum in southern China, state media reported Monday, in what has been dubbed the "kiss of deaf". Skip related content

The 20-something girl from Zhuhai city in Guangdong province was treated by hospital doctors after completely losing the hearing in her left ear, the China Daily reported, citing the Guangzhou Daily.

"The kiss reduced the pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear," the treating doctor, surnamed Li, was quoted as saying, adding the woman's hearing would likely recover in about two months.

The incident prompted newspapers to dispense kissing safety advice.

While kissing is normally very safe, doctors urge people to proceed with caution, the China Daily reported.

"A strong kiss may cause an imbalance in air pressure between the two inner ears and lead to a broken ear drum," said the English-language Shanghai Daily in a story headlined "Kiss of deaf."

I'd love to see a "safe kissing" PDA.

Great idea Catlover!!! And I think it should air during the telethon for those people who went deaf because they didn't practice "safe kissing"

Well, she does have a sense of humor about herself, like the lip-reading she did in that ep of Seinfeld. "Sure, I'll do it."

Marvo301 · 12-13-2008, 01:52 AM

exactly what I was thinking. She was hilarious on Seifeld. If anyone can take a serious subject like kiss=deafness and find the humour in it she can. (did I just say kiss-deafness!!!!!)

catlover79 · 12-13-2008, 01:55 AM

^ Yes, you did.

Marvo301 · 12-13-2008, 02:16 AM

Of course the other obvious choice would be Loretta Swit. aka Hotlips Houlihan.
