If you want to know why you don’t get motion sickness when you listen to music with headphones, you must understand the mechanism of motion sickness. Why do you get motion sickness? In our inner ear, there is an organ called the vestibular system that is responsible for balance. It controls the balance of the human body under strong movements such as bumps, rotations, and flips, and maintains normal physiological activities.
Once it exceeds the person's own balance perception, it will automatically start to cause dizziness, forcing the person to stop dangerous movement needs. Some people are naturally prone to motion sickness and will become dizzy within a few kilometers. In some people, the genetic vestibule is different.
Some people who don’t usually ride in cars are affected by excessive vestibular sensitivity. Some people are overworked and physically exhausted, which further affects the balance of their brains. For some people, if they are too full or too hungry, their stomach will feed back to the brain, and the vestibule of the brain will be even more affected. The air in the cabin, the smell of gasoline, the heat wave of car exhaust.
Whether it is perception or taste stimulation, as well as inner mood, all affect the balance of the inner ear. What's more, some people get dizzy when they see the conditioned reflex of a car...
Put on headphones and listen to music, focus on the rhythm of the music, savor the artistic conception and craziness of the music, forget about the irritability of riding in the car, mentally decompress and release, the stimulation of the vestibule is covered up by the sound of the music, vibrations and bumps Perception is not that strong.
The conditions for motion sickness are blocked by the conditioned reflex of music, and people’s mental will is completely focused on music, and the sensitivity of vestibular balance is greatly reduced. Ever since, wearing headphones and listening to music will make motion sickness less severe.
It is also useful to take dimenhydrinate tablets, promethazine tablets and other motion sickness medicines in advance, or wear motion sickness patches, but the medicine only acts on the stomach to reduce nausea and other symptoms.
