Surgery

Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Myringotomy has been helpful in individuals with recurrent otitis media (‘glue ear’). Hearing can be maximized with bilateral digital hearing aids. Cochlear implantation has benefitted some patients.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiac transplantation has been successful in isolated cases.

Urological Disorders

Urinary diversion or self-catheterization to manage voiding difficulties are required in some individuals.
