How it works
Motion sickness starts as an argument between your eyes and your inner ear. Sound is how Dizzout settles it.
How motion sickness actually works
Your inner ear and your eyes can't agree.
Three tiny fluid-filled canals in each inner ear sense every turn and bump. Meanwhile your eyes lock onto a still phone screen. Your brain receives two contradictory reports and treats it as poisoning - so it triggers nausea.
Dizzout plays precisely calibrated audio that helps the two signals agree. No medication. That's the entire idea.
Headphones on
Wired or Bluetooth. The pair you already own is fine, and there is no special hardware to buy.
Press play
Pick how you are travelling. One tap, no setup, and it works with your eyes closed.
Feel better
Dizzout states relief in about 90 seconds. Keep listening, then get on with the trip.
What the app actually does
Motion sickness starts when your inner ear reports motion your eyes do not see, or the other way around: the back seat feels every corner while your eyes read a still page. Your brain gets two stories at once, and nausea is how it objects.
Dizzout answers with sound: precisely calibrated audio, played through your own headphones at normal listening levels. It is audio, not medication, so there is nothing to swallow, nothing to dose an hour ahead, and no drowsiness to sleep off after. It also works alongside everything else you already do, from watching the horizon to cracking a window.
What a session looks like
- You feel the first wave coming, so you open the app and press play. Dizzout is built to help after symptoms have started, not only to prevent them.
- The app guides you through the session while the calibrated audio runs. One session is about 90 seconds.
- Any headphones work: wired, Bluetooth, or the earbuds already in your pocket. There is no special hardware.
- Free to download on iOS and Android with 3 free sessions included. Premium is $7.99/month or $49.99/year for unlimited access.
That is the whole session
About 90 seconds of precisely calibrated audio, in the seat you are already sitting in.

Frequently asked questions
What is Dizzout?
Dizzout is a drug-free motion sickness app that uses sound therapy through any headphones. Dizzout states relief in about 90 seconds. It works for car sickness, seasickness, airsickness, and VR sickness.
Does Dizzout work for car sickness, seasickness, and airsickness?
Yes. Dizzout is designed for any type of motion sickness - cars, planes, boats, and VR. If you experience nausea during movement, Dizzout can help.
Is Dizzout free?
Yes. Dizzout is free to download on iOS and Android with 3 free sessions included. A premium subscription is available at $7.99/month or $49.99/year for unlimited access.
How long does it take to feel relief?
Dizzout states relief in about 90 seconds. For best results, use Dizzout at the first signs of motion sickness rather than waiting until symptoms are severe.
Does Dizzout work for VR sickness?
Yes. VR sickness is caused by the same sensory mismatch as traditional motion sickness. Dizzout's sound therapy addresses this mismatch and has been used to relieve VR-induced nausea.
Is sound therapy safe to use?
Dizzout is audio played at normal listening levels, not medication, so it does not cause the drowsiness, dry mouth or impairment that antihistamines and scopolamine patches can. If you have an ear condition, are pregnant, or are using it for a young child, talk to your doctor first.
