Reducing Motion Sickness with Sound

Samsung’s new free app, Hearapy, claims to alleviate motion sickness symptoms using sound alone. The app uses a low 100Hz sine wave tone played through headphones for an adjustable duration of between 40 and 120 seconds, targeting the vestibular system in the inner ear. This system is responsible for maintaining balance and orientation. Users can select from 60-second listening periods to stimulate their vestibular system and potentially reduce motion sickness symptoms. The app offers a convenient and non-invasive solution for travelers seeking relief during trips.
