They really said life-altering make-out sesh.  

Based on reports, on Chinese Valentine's day (22 Aug), a man in China had his eardrum rupture after he and his girlfriend shared a passionate kiss of 10 minutes. 

He and his boo thang shared a passionate embrace beside the scenic West Lake in China's eastern Zhejiang province.

During the kiss, he said he heard a bubbling sound and felt pain in his left ear which left him unable to hear properly.

The couple then rushed to a hospital where doctors discovered his eardrum was perforated. He was told it would take two months to recover. 

Medics say passionate smooching can actually lead to a rapid change in air pressure inside the ear. This, combined with the heavy breathing of a partner, causes an imbalance leading to a puncture. 

It is not the first time such a thing has happened.

Last month, there was a similar case when a couple were watching TV at home in Guangdong province, southern China.
