Kissing to cause deafness?

This has got to be the weirdest story every! Actually second, I just remembered a really weird I read about a week ago.

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 kiss reduced the pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear!!!!

Luck for her she is expected to regain her full hearing within about two months.

This is probably one of the weirdest things i have ever heard. i have no idea how this is physically possible? how can one cause that much pressure from a kiss? i wonder if she had bad hearing to start with.

I guess the mobs term coined "the kiss of death" should really be deemed "the kiss of deaf". Clever eh?
