Kissing his girlfriend for more than "180 minutes" the young man received a bitter ending, puncturing the eardrum of his left ear

After kissing his girlfriend on the lips for so long, the boy was horrified when he learned that he had a perforated eardrum, temporary deafness and it took 2 months to hear normally again.

According to Hangzhou Television (Zhejiang province, China), a boy and his lover exchanged a passionate kiss lasting 10 minutes, next to the picturesque West Lake landscape on the occasion of Valentine's Day. There would be nothing if there wasn't a strange phenomenon happening at this romantic moment.

Specifically, while kissing, the guy suddenly heard a strange noise inside his ear and felt quite sore in his left ear his hearing was also affected. He was then unable to hear the sounds and speech around him as clearly as he did before kissing his girlfriend.

Noticing unusual signs, his girlfriend rushed him to the hospital for examination. Examination concluded that the boy had exactly suffered a perforated eardrum and that it took several months to recover his normal hearing.

According to doctors, this is because the chemical reaction between the boy and girl creates an overly passionate kiss that leads to a sudden change in the air pressure inside the ear, which combined with the partner's heavy breathing causes an imbalance that affects the eardrum and punctures it.

In addition, when kissing, the air in the ear canal can be sucked out causing the eardrum to be pushed up, towards the outer ear canal. If the suction force is too large, it will affect the eardrum. Besides passionate kissing, one can also have a perforated eardrum due to physical impact, get into a traffic accident, dive and fly.

As soon as the story of the boy's deafening kiss in Hangzhou, Zhejiang was widely shared on social media, it attracted the attention of the online community with more than 1 million interactions and 400,000 comments. People also talked excitedly: "After this incident, I concluded that I should not kiss my lover for too long and passionately", "It turns out that true love can make two lovers deafening", "That's why I don't want to love; It's dangerous"...

The accident is not a rare incident because 1 month ago, a couple in Guangdong who were watching TV together at home also suffered a punctured eardrum because they kissed too frantically. Accordingly, the young girl named Xiaohua lives in Huizhou City (Guangdong, China).

After a salty moment with her boyfriend, she felt a slight pain in her left ear and couldn't hear anything, so she went to the otolaryngology department of Huizhou No. 1 People's Hospital for a checkup. During the examination, the doctor noticed dried blood stains on the patient's eardrum. Upon closer inspection, doctors discovered she had a perforated eardrum due to the trauma.

It is worth mentioning that the girl's medical history does not mention any injuries around the ear. But when asked if something caused the eardrum perforation, she recalled how her boyfriend hugged and kissed so hard in the ear area while the two were "having fun" together.

"When my boyfriend kissed my ear, he sucked really hard and it made a popping sound. After that, I didn't hear anything around my left ear other than a constant humming sound accompanied by a slight persistent pain," Xiaohua said. As soon as she noticed something unusual, the girl went to the hospital and received the above results.

"There was a trail of blood near the wound in the ear. This is unusual because the victim has not been physically affected or traumatized. She told the story of her boyfriend kissing her ear very hard and feeling pain at that time," said Fu Jia, deputy director of surgery at Huizhou No. 1 People's Hospital.

According to the doctor, the eardrum is easily punctured when the pressure changes suddenly such as hearing a strong noise or an explosion. In theory, oral suction could be the case, although this is quite rare in practice.

"Usually the eardrum heals on its own within 2 weeks to 3 months. After this period of time, if the eardrum has not healed, external intervention is followed. In case the eardrum is punctured, patients let water in when bathing or swimming can cause problems such as otitis media, which affects hearing," explains Dr. Fu Jia.
