Just releasing what frequency they're using would be extremely helpful.
For sea sickness some companies offer a wrist band with a pea sized piece of plastic on them to (supposedly) stimulate a nerve in your wrist. I do not think that they require regulation.
I can see a situation where these devices could be sold for sea sickness purposes with little to no regulation.
Vibrating motors are a pretty easy device to get ahold of, phones and game controllers both have them; I don't see why you couldn't build one of these devices from a kit for under $25 + battery.

Or rather, they never worked for me. > I can see a situation where these devices could be sold for sea sickness purposes with little to no regulation. I agree that they might not require much regulation, but I would appreciate some tests to ensure they are safe and establish some thresholds. Tinnitus sufferers in particular, would end up wearing this pretty much all day. Making your skull vibrate for 16 hours a day, even at low frequencies, sounds a bit dangerous.
