"Hearapy plays a low 100Hz sine wave tone through connected headphones for 60 seconds, stimulating the vestibular system responsible for orientation and balance. A full minute of listening can provide relief from motion sickness symptoms like nausea for up to two hours."
"The app allows users to adjust the duration of the tone between 40 to 120 seconds, but Samsung emphasizes that one minute is optimal for symptom relief. The effectiveness of Hearapy may vary based on the headphones used."
"Inspired by research from Nagoya University, which found that specific sound wavelengths helped reduce discomfort in moving vehicles, Hearapy is not a guaranteed cure for motion sickness."
"Samsung recommends using Hearapy with Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, although the app is compatible with most headphones that can reproduce the tone at an 80 to 85-decibel volume level for maximum effectiveness."
Samsung launched Hearapy, a free app for Android that aims to alleviate motion sickness symptoms through sound. The app plays a low 100Hz sine wave tone for 60 seconds, stimulating the vestibular system responsible for balance. Users can adjust the tone duration between 40 to 120 seconds, with one minute of listening providing relief for up to two hours. Inspired by research from Nagoya University, the app's effectiveness may vary based on headphone quality, with Galaxy Buds 4 Pro recommended for optimal results.
