Parsemus Foundation We work to create meaningful improvements in human and animal health and welfare by advancing innovative and neglected medical research.

Aside from Vasalgel (our largest project), the foundation’s focus is on supporting small proof-of-concept studies and then pursuing press coverage of the results so that the advances change treatment practice rather than disappearing into the scientific literature. Many of the studies we support involve low-cost approaches that are not under patent. When supporting development of technologies under patent, Parsemus Foundation requires public-sector pricing agreements so that affordability of the end product is assured.

A large study of more than 61,000 older adults found that hearing aid users had a lower risk of dementia, with the association strongest when hearing was meaningfully improved. Two other 2026 studies provide additional evidence connecting hearing loss with dementia and suggest a possible biological pathway, but more research is needed to establish cause and effect.

Are you a woman who has experience with hormone replacement therapy? Women in the U.S. have no FDA-approved option to take testosterone, but the FDA is taking a step toward remedying that problem. They're asking for public input on testosterone for menopausal women. Your experience can help shape what happens next!

Health information is everywhere, but not all claims are supported by good evidence. Learning to check the source, look for scientific references, and understand what a study actually shows can help you make more informed health decisions and have better conversations with your healthcare provider.

Hearing loss can affect communication, social connection, and cognitive health, making hearing care an important part of lifelong wellness. Research continues to examine how treating hearing loss, including with hearing aids, may influence the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.

Cryptorchidism does not necessarily mean that both testicles need to be removed. When one testicle has descended normally, removing the retained testicle and using vasectomy for sterilization may preserve natural hormones while addressing the higher cancer risk associated with the undescended testicles.
