Samsung has launched Hearapy, a new Android app designed to temporarily alleviate motion sickness when used with Galaxy Buds4 Pro. The app is based on research from the University of Nagoya in Japan, which found that listening to a 100Hz sine wave at 75-85dB for several minutes can improve balance and reduce motion sickness.
The Hearapy app plays a precise 100Hz sine wave to stimulate the inner ear’s balance system. Although Samsung recommends its use with Galaxy Buds4 Pro, users can also attempt to utilize it with other earbuds or headphones, which may vary in effectiveness.
Listening to the 100Hz tone for one minute can provide relief from motion sickness for up to two hours. Users are advised to set the volume at a comfortable level, loud but not uncomfortably so, and can repeat the listening experience as necessary to manage symptoms.
Hearapy is available for download from the Play Store. This initiative by Samsung represents an intersection of technology and health, potentially offering a new tool for individuals susceptible to motion sickness.
