Listening to music has a miraculous effect on motion sickness because it can interfere with the response of the human inner ear to balance stimulation.

Motion sickness is closely related to the human vestibular balance organ. The vestibular organ is an important organ that maintains the body's balance function. When a car starts, runs or brakes, the person's vestibule will be stimulated. People with motion sickness are prone to vestibular function imbalance, which then causes autonomic nerve dysfunction.

Autonomic nerves control the peristalsis of gastrointestinal smooth muscles. When the autonomic nerve function is disordered, the gastrointestinal smooth muscles will produce spasm or reverse peristalsis, resulting in vomiting. In addition, there are some receptors on the inner wall of the human stomach. These receptors will be stretched when the car is moving, which can also cause the gastrointestinal smooth muscle to reverse peristalsis and cause vomiting.

At this time, wearing headphones to listen to music and turning up the volume can interfere with the human inner ear's response to balance stimulation and prevent motion sickness.
