Dr Betty A. Loy, lead author of the research informs, “They want to know: ‘Is my kid going to be made fun of? Is my kid going to be bullied? How is my kid going to feel about themselves with this apparatus on their head?”

“For profoundly deaf children who regularly use a cochlear implant, feelings about life overall are no better or worse than their hearing peers. These findings indicate that cochlear implantation has a positive effect on certain psycho-social domains,” she adds.

Further studies are required to ascertain if the consumption of peanuts is associated with an increased risk of peanut allergies in the first year of life, the researchers reveal.

“Our study looked at sensitization, not peanut allergy,” he says. “It is going to be a few years before we know whether these children really do develop true peanut allergies.” study researcher Scott H. Sicherer, MD, of New York’s Mount Sinai School of Medicine told WebMD.

“We simply don’t have enough information to tell women they should or should not eat peanuts during pregnancy,” he said.

Co-author of the study, Paula Chandler-Laney, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alabama at Birmingham stated, "We know that children born to women with type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes, or who have high blood sugar during pregnancy are at risk of becoming diabetic themselves.

“This study suggests that the children’s increased risk appears to be due, at least in part, to their prenatal exposure to relatively high maternal blood glucose.”
