How To Treat Fabry's Disease

Hearing Aids

In some cases, the symptoms of Fabry disease aren't life-threatening but still negatively impact and complicate an individual's day-to-day life. Many patients with Fabry's disease experience progressive hearing loss throughout their lives and eighty-five percent of male patients over fifty require a hearing aid.

Hearing aids are relatively affordable ways of regaining confidence and capability in an individual's life. A hearing aid increases communication and makes it easier to socialize with others and get around on your own.

Many patients also report suffering from tinnitus, which hearing aids can't help with. However, if hearing loss is present, getting a hearing aid to regain total or near-total hearing ability is a worthwhile pursuit.

Eating a special, Fabry-friendly diet can help patients reduce symptoms, feel more energized and maintain a healthy body weight. For patients whose disease cause them to experience gastrointestinal problems, a special diet that is low in fat and free of other common irritants can provide a permanent solution to painful symptoms.
