Ouch, Karen. I haven’t heard this one, so I looked it up.
Child’s kiss leaves mother deaf in one ear
NEW YORK, June 8 (UPI) — A New York woman who partially lost her hearing after her daughter kissed her on her ear two years ago says she’s getting some of her hearing back.
Gail Schwartzman of Hicksville said her daughter — who was 4 at the time — gave her an affectionate kiss on her left ear and the suction from the kiss managed to displace her eardrum and paralyze three bones in her ear, Newsday reported Sunday http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2008/06/08/Childs_kiss_leaves_mother_deaf_in_one_ear/UPI-51681212965294/

That would be a real delight for some deaf activists to rupture many hearing individuals thru heavy-handed kisses for our own world domination of the entire world to be adhered to our deaf ideals! Aha!

It seem so strange?
Very interesting!
Other Topic. About being french kissing caused the 14 years old girl were allergy to peanunt Butter. Her boyfriend ate peanunt butter.
Incident was happened about three years ago it was announced by Candaian newspaper.
Instantly she died from reaction of Peanunt butter.
Be more carefully about being kiss after you cannot kiss someone else who have reaction of allergy.
Yes, it is true!!
It could be true about kissing caused hearing loss? which is new things and it’s seem strange to me.

I find it so bizarre that someone would kiss another person’s ear, sucking so hard that the eardrum is ruptured.
Each to their own, I suppose!

WAD,
Oh, Thank you for new update that I was not aware of that. Thank for letting me for a correction. I worked for Nw Asthma and Allergy for four years. I complete understood the system between Allergy to Peanut Butter can be trigger if they did not know why some of kids have any kind of allergy with a Asthma.. It is not only together.. Some reason why I have hard time difficult breathing when I ran fast for example I dont have asthma and my husband also have very small allergy to medicine and he say same thing with him that he have hard time breath he ran, too.. My younger daughter have asthma and I asked why ? Dr say one of parents or both have allergy. Gene can passed to one child(s).
but hearing loss from kissing. It is very intersting issues. So new to me.
Thank you,WAD for clarifities ( misspelling?)

Hmmmmn!!!
(WARNING!! Bad Stanelle joke follows!! Don’t throw rotten fruit!!)
I wonder if two Deaf would kiss extremely passionately,…if a big wet kiss could RESTORE hearing!!! I doubt it!! My husband and i have been passionately “pecking” awy at each other for almost thirty years and we still have servere hearing loss!!
Oh well!!
