Use Case

Airplane Motion Sickness

Same vestibular mechanism — may help with turbulence-related sickness.

Same 100 Hz sound session — try it for your situation

The Science

Air sickness typically occurs during turbulence, takeoff, and landing — when your inner ear detects changes in altitude and acceleration that your eyes can't confirm inside the cabin.

Stillwave plays a fixed 100 Hz pure tone through earbuds. The tone reaches the inner ear, where the otoconia and balance structures are located — the same anatomy involved in car and boat motion discomfort.

Note: Stillwave has not been specifically tested for air sickness. We recommend it as a complementary approach alongside standard precautions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Has Stillwave been tested for air sickness?

Not specifically. Stillwave has not been tested for aircraft motion. Air sickness involves the same inner ear structures as car sickness, so individual experiences may vary. Try it on your next flight.

When should I play Stillwave on a flight?

Before takeoff is ideal. The app's session timer runs up to 2 hours. For longer flights, replay during cruising altitude before turbulence zones.

Can I use Stillwave with AirPods on a plane?

Yes. AirPods Pro with noise cancelling are ideal — they block engine noise and help the 100 Hz tone reach your inner ear more effectively.
