“Reiter’s ear kiss syndrome” (REKS) was first publicly documented in 2008.  A woman suffered sudden permanent hearing loss from her 4-year-old’s robust kiss at the entrance to the ear canal.  Since then, similar cases have surfaced of individuals losing hearing or developing ear symptoms following a vigorous ear smooch.
