How Dizzout works

Dizzout works through sound. Put on any wired or Bluetooth headphones, open the app and press play: a session of precisely calibrated audio runs for about 90 seconds, and you do not need to watch the screen while it plays.

Dizzout is a drug-free sound therapy app for iOS and Android. Connect standard wired or Bluetooth headphones and follow the app's listening instructions. Dizzout states relief in about 90 seconds. Individual experiences vary.

Connect your ordinary headphones

Connect wired headphones with an adapter if your phone needs one, or pair your usual Bluetooth headphones. Then open Dizzout.

Using the app

  1. Download Dizzout from the official iOS or Android store and review the current access terms.
  2. Connect your headphones to the phone. Pair Bluetooth headphones in the usual way if they are not already connected.
  3. Choose a comfortable listening volume and start the audio using the app's controls.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions. You do not need to keep watching the phone while listening.
  5. Listen as a passenger only, never while you drive.
  6. Stop if listening makes you uncomfortable. An app session should not delay medical advice for symptoms that persist or feel severe.

Designed for use before travel or during symptoms. Experiences vary; see the evidence section below.

The two modes on the home screen

  • Prepare Me. Dizzout's Prepare Me mode is the same sound session in a quicker form, for the 10 to 30 minutes before a trip you expect to be rough. Use it before boarding, before the ferry leaves the harbour, or before the winding stretch of road.
  • Motion Sickness Relief. Dizzout's Motion Sickness Relief mode is for once the nausea has started, with relief in about 90 seconds. Two or three sessions may be needed on a rough trip.
  • Trip Planner. Dizzout's Trip Planner lets you schedule a trip, syncs it with your calendar and reminds you when to listen before it.

If the stress of a trip is mostly the dread of getting sick, the travel anxiety plans put the before-the-trip steps in order for flying, boats, the car and trains.

What sound therapy means here

Dizzout plays precisely calibrated audio through standard headphones. You can listen using the headphones you already own; no dedicated device is needed.

Read what has and has not been studied and the public product claim register when comparing your options.

Other steps when you feel motion sick

General motion sickness guidance recommends looking toward a distant fixed point, putting reading and screens aside, and choosing a suitable seat when possible. Medicines generally work best when planned before travel. If symptoms have already started, ask a pharmacist or clinician about suitable options and precautions.

See the practical motion sickness guide for the first steps. Advice for children or pregnancy should come from an appropriate healthcare professional.

Common questions

Does Dizzout need special headphones?

No dedicated hardware is needed. Use standard wired or Bluetooth headphones connected to your phone. Bluetooth headphones still need their usual pairing and connection.

How quickly does Dizzout work, and how long does relief last?

Dizzout states relief in about 90 seconds. Dizzout does not publish a figure for how long relief lasts, and experiences vary. If symptoms come back, run another session.

What should I know before listening?

Use a comfortable listening volume, follow the app's instructions and stop if the audio makes you feel worse. Drug-free does not mean every person will find an audio session suitable. Persistent, severe or unexplained symptoms need clinical advice.

Can I use Dizzout while driving?

No. Dizzout is for passengers, not drivers. Never start a session while you drive. If you feel sick at the wheel, pull over somewhere safe first.

Is Dizzout available on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Dizzout is available on iOS and Android and works with standard headphones. Check the current store listing for device requirements and availability.

Is Dizzout free to download?

The app is free to download, with paid access for full use. Check the current offer and subscription terms in the app or store before buying.

Can I use Dizzout after motion sickness starts?

It is built to be used after symptoms have already started, not only before travel. Experiences vary. Putting screens away and looking toward a distant fixed point are practical steps you can try as well.
