A Pakistani man broke the Guinness Book of World Records for "ear-lifting" in Vienna, Austria by carrying almost 62 kilograms from a cord attached to his right ear on Sunday.

Zafar Gill's earned his ear a place in the record books as part of "Vienna Record breaker" day, held in the Austrian capital.

Gill had to use a special head grip to protect both his ears and temple. He lifted the weight for almost seven seconds and brought it up about four inches from the ground.

Gill, who only weighs 90 kilos said he trains everyday but insists he has never suffered from any hearing impairment due to his peculiar hobby.
