US EditionI Tried Samsung's All New Earbuds Therapy App for Travel Sickness — and It Might Actually Work
Hearapy plays low-frequency audio to stimulate the inner ear and reduce travel nausea for up to two hours, based on research from Nagoya University.
- Samsung recently launched Hearapy, an Android application designed to reduce motion sickness during travel by utilizing low-frequency bass tones to stimulate the brain's balance system.
- Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan found that listening to a 100Hz bass tone influences the vestibular system, the inner ear structure controlling balance and reducing nausea.
- Users listen to a 100Hz sine wave played at around 75 to 85 dB for sessions lasting 40 seconds to two minutes, with Samsung recommending the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro.
- A quick session can curb nausea for up to two hours without medication, while unlike Google's Motion Cues, Hearapy relies solely on audio rather than visual screen interaction.
- Available on the Google Play Store, the app arrives alongside Samsung's recently released Galaxy S26 and works with the Galaxy Buds 4 and other compatible wireless earbuds.
