Airplane Motion Sickness

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

Same vestibular mechanism — may help based on research

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's 100 Hz sound activates the otoconia in your inner ear, the same vestibular mechanism validated in the Nagoya University study for ground-based motion. While not tested in aircraft, the underlying sensory mismatch is similar.

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

How Stillwave Helps

1

Put on earbuds

2

Open Stillwave and press play

3

Listen for 60 seconds

4

Enjoy up to 2 hours of relief

Tips for Best Results

  • 1.Play Stillwave before takeoff while still at the gate
  • 2.Choose a seat over the wings where turbulence is less noticeable
  • 3.Look at the horizon through the window during turbulence
  • 4.Keep the air vent pointed at your face and stay well hydrated

Frequently Asked Questions

Has Stillwave been tested for air sickness?

Not specifically. The Nagoya University study tested 100 Hz sound for motion sickness from vehicle and swing motion. Air sickness uses the same vestibular system, so the mechanism may help. Try it on your next flight.

When should I play Stillwave on a flight?

Before takeoff is ideal. The protective effect lasts 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.
